A dream of starting a photography studio – where would we get started?
We are dreaming of starting a photography studio. Where would we start?
I’m making a list of everything we’ll need …. we have the space for it currently to run it out of the garage, it will be so simple to fix it up. We need digital SLRs (I have an SLR, but it’s film, so that’s no good.) We need photo editing equipment, which we have, and the proper computers with the editing programs (also have that).
What else, and where do we go next?
You need studio lights (consider ebay, there are some nice ones there at a bargain price), reflectors such as triflectors, diffusers and add-ons so you can ‘model’ the light, focus it, soften it etc. Also a decent / supportive tripod but ideally light, quick and easy to use + backdrops and props.
Along with your dSLR you need suitable lenses and media cards… then you’ll be set. I’d also consider some training – it will pay off very quickly and save you a LOT of time.
For commercial standard work you also need to calibrate and profile your camera, monitor and printers… so you can correctly control your quality of output… and know how this process is done and used properly.
