Tips On How To Create A Makeshift Studio

By Cindy Miller


Building a makeshift studio is expected for budding photographers who want to specialize in indoor photography. Although a makeshift studio may not completely copy the structure that professional photographers are occupying, budding photographers can find ways to install the right lighting sources and make their temporary studio acceptable enough for indoor shoots.

To make the studio adequately spacious, novice photographers should remove any obstructions, such as storage containers and pieces of furniture. Photographers should also cover open spaces with dark, thick clothes or paper. They should also choose to make use of existing light sources for practical reasons.

The next thing to do when doing a makeshift studio is thinking where and how to set up the backdrop. The wall on which the backdrop will be set up should have no obstacles. Pushpins are usually used in adhering light backdrops to the wall. Pushpins don't leave big holes in the wall. But it will not do a good job when it comes to holding heavy backdrops. If this is the case, photographers will have to buy backdrop stands.

Another basic requirements in indoor photography is proper lighting equipment. Indoor photographers cannot use ordinary room lights room as ultimate source of light because these types of light sources are hard to manipulate. A studio photographer will also need a reflector to achieve balance lighting.

If the photographer doesn't have a complete set of lighting equipment yet, the solution to this is to photograph the subject using a slow shutter speed.This is ideal in times during cloudy days. It is also necessary to use a tripod when shooting with slow shutter speed.

DIY photography is all about being resourceful. The more resourceful a DIY photographer is, the more he is likely to succeed irrespective of the photography style he or she chooses to deal with--- whether it is classic family portrait, portrait photography, or Family photography.
