Should a home studio be without windows ?
Hi there. i really like this video. I want to set up a home studio mainly for products photo shoot. I have a slightly different question for you. I would be highly obliged to get an answer from you. I want to buy a camera mainly for product photo shoot and for interior photo shoot (real estate photos) Can you please suggest what type of camera shall I buy? Shall I buy an APS – C camera or a Full Frame Camera? I was thinking that a Full Frame Camera would be more helpful as I can capture more scene in interior photos as compare to a crop frame sensor camera. But I am running a bit squeezed on budget. Does a crop frame sensor camera can take good interior photos? kindly reply. Thanks. Sorry for a long comment.
Awesome Video. You guys rock
I would love to start selling my photos but I'm a broke ass college student who shoots on their phone who also can't afford a "real" camera. Because my phone has limitations compared to an actual camera, I shoot lots of macro photos, because then i won't have the problem of I'm actually two feet away but it looks like 10. I have not had the confidence to move onto people photos. Although I have not really explored other areas, my main photo subjects tend to be flowers and insects, or in other words, things that won't move when i aim my phone at them super close and things i can find in my local area as i cannot go hiking on a whim. Can anyone recommend what I should do? As I am a student who has to pay back student loans, and have a very limited pool of money and therefore unable to buy a good camera, I was hoping to win some money or a camera through photo contests. However, photo contests always have submissions taken by professionals or people with DSLRs that have taken trips to places like the arctic, something i would never be able to do. I love photography, but I feel i am reaching a limit with what my phone can do and am starting to give up on photography. I would love if anyone had any advice for me or could tell me what to do. I love photography and don't want to let it go, but i have ideas and dreams or shots that my phone just can't handle despite being an iPhone 8 plus. Also, Im sorry about the mini rant.
Thanks a lot for helpful video 🙂
Awesome DIY home studio episode, Good luck dmac 😎✌️
That was great advice at the end. I think that's my "problem" when it comes to marketing myself and my work. I love shooting everything, whether it's street art, nature, animals, portraits. I just love to shoot.
This is a great piece of content! Really good sound advice.
Loved this video thx. making a small studio also for doing videos. thx for sharing.
Awesome video. Perfect timing as I turn a room into a studio. You have great content, love the stair test lol
I enjoyed watching this. This gave a few ideas for a room in my house. So many times we always say I don't have a studio space, but often times we need less space than we think to create good work. I'll admit I cringed when I saw you toss that case, but good to see the contents are functional.
Leaving the wall beige only marks this as an in home small studio. It is the tell tale fall back interior color. White, Grey or Black would be so much better and would leave your future potential customers guessing at your current level of success. Commercial studio space vs spare room on the second floor.
Great video
Headshot people should be charging $1200 a sitting? Here’s hoping.
The last few minutes, for me was the best part. Great advice, 1 a day I like that idea 💡
I have found that at least nine feet ceiling are required. A narrow studio of ten feet is okay, but depth of a score of feet is better.
let me have a house first, lol
Love this video! Learned so much.
Thank you so much. Great ideas. I will use when I set up my home studio!
WHAT UP D-MACK! aka @mmckieverphotography on Instagram!
Great job on your connection the video was awesome I learned a couple of things and maybe one day we'll meet up and I'll come check it out in person
MY MAN MELVIN!!!!! So dope. Good stuff man
JP! I wish I would've known you were in Houston! Would love to meet you.
Thanks so much!! This is really helpful!
Nice job
This video is magnificent! Suuuuuch VITAL information! Needed this! Love you! You're great! My studio will be better because of this now. 😄 Gonna go watch the Lowe's lighting video now! ☺
Working on doing this in my own house now
Sometimes you just need to be a Rocket Scientist.
Great information about a small studio in a home. One thing that would help me is how to organize (i.e., storage) all the equipment in a small studio. For example, putting equipment shelves behind the black curtain precludes using the wall as a reflector. Compromises! I really enjoy and learn from your videos.
As always, I love the fact that you went out and showed how a real person can get started. I love the videos and you almost gave me a heart attack when you tossed that case with the camera down the stairs. I was almost biting all my nails. Keep up the great job. four thumbs up.
Great stuff guys!
Great lesson. Could you do a studio in a typical garage some time?
THIS VIDEO IS GREAT!
