How I set up a professional photography studio on a reasaonable budget – the equipment I opted for, how I arranged things and other topics which I hope are helpful to you in going through the process.
For portable lighting using strobes instead of studio lights, visit my blog @ www.baselineshots.com.
Thumbs down just for the music! Sorry, I couldn't focus.
That must be one of the most useful and real videos for anyone wanting to set as a professional. You have a great set of lights there, may I ask do you ever find such powerful lights too much for your small space? Great ingenuity with the parachute. Thank you, it was really good seeing someone keeping it real.
Nice vid, but please turn the music down! Hard to discern the music from voice.
Read the description, please – PROFESSIONAL photography studio & lighting on a budget. It's not HOBBYIST or AMATEUR photography studio & lighting on a budget. Geez.
thanks for this video
this video is definitely not for a photographer on a budget. please change the name/description of this video because it is terribly misleading. a budget photographer would be looking for videos on inexpensive speedlights and how to build backdrops with items purchased from a local craft store. thumbs down.
Daniel, the video was intended to cover what I believe is appropriate for a professional studio, but on a budget. If you go to my blog, I did a post on portable studio lighting using strobes instead of studio lights.
Yeah, great setup, not what i'm looking for. I just started photography and have many friends that love my pictures and want me to do photo shoots of their kids. I need to know what I should get for kids / babies on a budget. I dont even have off camera flash yet or any umbrellas or softboxes
Hey Mike, can you tell me if there's any difference between using a slave cell on flash units (when you have an infra-red rx on the key light) and using an infra-red rx on ALL lights?
All my lights are monolights so they do not need a block. They simply plug into a power strip or an outlet. I trigger them by using either an infrared trigger mounted on top of my camera or by using a Pocket Wizard mounted on the camera and another one plugged into one of the lights (usually the key light). When one strobe fires, the others do too since they all have "slave" sensors that cause them to fire when they sense the initial flash.
one question..
where are the lights conected? do you have a interface or someting? thanks
Thanks for taking the time to show us your equipment, I found it very helpful.
hey thanks for sharing this video i enjoyed it.
