Description
Studio shoot from 7/31/2009Not something I typically do since my niche is mostly street/photojournalism given my job. I thought I'd try something different from my norm and stretch my boundaries a bit.

Did you enjoy stretching the boundaries?
Good work and I hope you plan on doing more of this!

I enjoyed it a lot! It was full of lighting, shooting, dancing, and laughter.
I plan on going to the studio when I have money to rent it out again, next time will be all about color though
Thank you Liz

I haven't got to play with a studio set up for ages. I'm still trying to work out how to build a makeshift one at home and to do it as cheaply as possible
I spotted more from the session in an ever growing sea of thumbs, I'll be checking them out soon

A friend of mine uses home items and lights and the occasional strobe for makeshift studio work, and it's very effective and budget friendly. He just made his own flash umbrella setup with stuff he had lying around, and it works well too. If you want to I can send you the link to his blog via note so you can check out some of the stuff he's built.

That would be cool, thanks!
My hubby once shared his studio with a photographer, he was really good about letting me use his equipment. I was doing a lot of band shots and actors resume work at the time so I needed a decent set up.
One of the things I enjoyed about film and working in b&w, lighting was easier to deal with.
I used another artist's studio for several portrait sessions, I used 3 really cheap, clip-on lights from a hardware store, reflectors made from card covered in crinkled foil and a big mirror. The studio itself made a great background, I got some good shots out of those sessions
It doesn't have to be bling to work!
