How to Build a HOME PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO in a SMALL PLACE!

[@leslieunger7438]

finally someone who makes it all sound possible and not intimidating or so expensive that I will never be able to begin. Thank you!

[@LauraBC]

Awwww so happy to hear that Leslie! I know how it is when starting... I’ve been there so I find it super important to recommend the most affordable gear at least to start with. :) I hope you enjoy my channel! 😍🙏🏼❤️

[@shaughnegonzalez6814]

Leslie Unger 😎 yes!

[@erikaporter7805]

@@LauraBC I agree with Leslie. Makes me feel so much better that I'm not a professional photographer but it doesn't have to be so daunting. I have an estate jewelry business do you have any specific recommendations for getting soft, but tight and detailed photos? If it makes sense to have this convo in another stream let me know. Thanks! good stuff

[@audi_kid]

Yes!!!!! So glad I found Her!!!!! 🎉🤗

For everyone reading this, I'm in the exact same situation as the presenter. I've been thinking a lot about opening a photo studio, but renting a space was too expensive, especially working two shifts. In the end, I decided to sell all the furniture in my living room and turn it into a photo studio. They say you have to pay a price to succeed, and I'm willing to give up the comfort of a living room to pursue my passion for photography. I've set up photo studios in the most unexpected places: the attic, the living room, even a small children's room. I've used every available space, including nature, the forest, the ruins of old castles, creating dreamy sets. I've discovered that with a little imagination and minimal equipment, you can achieve amazing results. The most important thing is to master the art of light and have a solid understanding of photo editing. With these tools, success is guaranteed

Your energy is so amazing. This is the first video of yours I have seen, but it was suggested because I'm looking to add a small studio to my home. I have the confidence after watching this video to maximize the space I have and that I won't need thousands of dollars to get high quality work.

Finally, someone who shots in a tiny space like I have. Absolute killer tips!

[@LauraBC]

Yessss!! Thank you Heiko! So nice to know that you also shoot in a small space. Here in London I had no choice. Renting an external studio is not sustainable when already paying so much for the flat! 😅 Big hug! I hope you like my channel. ❤️

[@thenewoldphotographer1491]

Back in the early 90's I had to run some film to a local studio. I was shocked at the size of it, both big AND small. Big in the fact they had a white wall and it curved where it met the floor to be seamless. He had a gallon of paint beside it because they would constantly repaint to keep it perfectly white (remember, this is way before Photoshop). It was small in the fact that he showed me an area they did tight portraits, much like your examples. A large softbox, hair light on a black background. I couldn't believe how tight the area was! I had no idea that portraiture could be done like that and it helped my , years later, set up my first studio. Now Neewer and other companies, plus digital make portraiture SO much more affordable and accessible. This was a great video to let people know that they can do this. Keep it up, Laura!

[@LauraBC]

I get you sooo well! Time ago everything was so inaccesible and gear way much more expensive. Now, knowing a bit what to get, we can build a decent studio even in tiny places for professional work. Thanks a lot for watching and bringing me back to the old photography era. 😍🎞 Big hug from London! :)

[@adrianbuckvideo]

Some good unbiased advice here and so honestly presented. Should be noted the car size backdrops (think 2.18 metre) are around same price as the 2.72M - if you look at the Tetenal website. When I started there wasn't a car size option but luckily the 2.7 metere drop fitted in my Nissan hatchback and later Camry saloon from one corner of the boot (trunk) through to the passenger seat footwell or resting on the dash against the windscreen :/ I might later saw off a piece to give me a more practical length of backdrop to work with on a client's premises. So I had to use stands which I agree are the biggest pain for using up floor space but lightweight and one of the few pieces of equipment you will never need to replace. These paper rolls are easy to cut with a regular hand saw meaning you shouldn't be put off getting a 2.7 metre drop. You can then cut to the size that suits your needs. As I said price difference between 2.18 (or 2.08) and full size is negligible depending on where you look :)

[@TheRebekahburgess]

I love your video & your energy is fantastic. Great to have it broken down like this - photographers can get much too technical and I'm very much just in my first couple of years as a professional. I'm based in New Zealand and with house prices here we haven't got the ability to go into a bigger house - our house is tiny - to allow me to set up a studio - and I'd like more flexibility when it comes to family photos instead of being beholden to the weather all the time. I'm getting a hobby room built that I wasn't going to use as a studio. but a writing room. It's 2.4 x 2.4 m with double doors that open onto a small deck. I actually think maybe I could make it work as a studio, initially as a natural light studio. I'm really interested in what lens you use for portrait photography. And your portraits are stunning by the way, wow.

Gracias por existir Laura. Se me hace raro escuchar una paisana en idioma extranjero, pero estoy acostumbrado a escuchar nacionalidades de todas partes de Europa... Muchas gracias por este y los demás videos que compartes en tu canal. Son muy enriquecedores... Llevo unos 6 años dedicado a la fotografía pero más informal. Todo se debe gracias a una clienta del hotel donde trabajo que, al ser fotógrafa, me invitó a conocer más de cerca este mundo. A día de hoy hago fotografía de eventos, productos e inmobiliaria. Otros estilos como street o minimalismo lo dejo para el ámbito personal. Quería decirte en nombre de todos los que te seguimos, aprendemos de ti y disfrutamos con tus vídeos, muchas gracias por compartir con tanta energía y seguridad. Este vídeo, que puede parecer uno más del montón, es de los más esclarecedores que he visto en años... Fijate, sólo el hecho de que des por sentado que el estudio lo tienes en casa, sin más... No te importa cómo se ve, sino cómo trabajas y qué le ofreces a tus clientes... Ese pequeño matiz es para mí de las mayores grandezas que le he oído a un fotógrafo profesional en mucho mucho tiempo. Tu honestidad cuando hablas de la marca de tu Flash, los consejos para buscar soluciones prácticas y baratas... Dice mucho de ti... Tienes aquí un seguidor, suscriptor, fan número no se cuántos mil y un humilde fotógrafo agradecido de verdad. Que te vaya siempre bien y que no dejes de ofrecernos ese poquito de ti que para nosotros es muy muy mucho...

Thanks for your tips. My home studio space might be a little bit bigger, but the height of the room is my major concern. With regards to softboxes I strongly recommend neoluma, especially if you happen to live in Germany. It is a small German company, which creates light modifiers, only. The quality of the material and the light is outstanding. Their companion softboxes are foldable, act like a beauty dish and softbox, create light like a parabolic softbox, but with a much shallower size. Highly recommended. I guess they are shipping to UK and other European countries, but their website and promotional videos are in German, only.

[@LauraBC]

Hi Hartmut! You are very welcome. Glad to know that you enjoyed the tips. Yeah, the ceiling is sometimes a problem if we shoot with tall models. I've never heard of that brand. I'm sure is amazing! We all end up buying generic brands because they are internationally available but I'm pretty sure local brands have outstanding quality. Good to know! THANK U! :) I hope you enjoy my channel! :)

[@HappyLife-nf7wb]

Hello, I know it's been a year but uf you don't mind helping me out, which one do you recommend for a small studio like one room apartment? Thank you so much for your reply

[@hartmut-wilms]

@@HappyLife-nf7wb This is difficult to answer, because it depends on the kind of light you wish to achieve. A big light source produces softer light, i.e. smooth transition from light to shadow. A small one produces hard shadows with defined edges. You can always tweak the size by reducing the distance to the subject or model. This approach is limited, of course. Bottom line: if you want soft light choose as big as your room allows for.

[@hartmut-wilms]

I chose the neoluma companion pro 105 cm.
