Changing A Portion Of Your Home Into A Makeshift Studio

By Cindy Miller


Building a makeshift studio is expected from budding photographers who want to master the art of indoor photography. Although a makeshift studio can't completely replicate the structure that professional photographers have, budding photographers can always find ways to make their temporary studio adequately functional.

To make the studio adequately spacious, budding 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 building a makeshift studio is thinking where and how to set up the backdrop. The wall on which the backdrop will be installed should have no obstacles. Pushpins can be used in adhering light backdrops to the wall. This kind of adhering material does not leave big holes in the wall. But pushpins will not do a good job in terms of holding heavy backdrops. If this is the case, photographers will have to use backdrop stands.

Also, investing in an additional lighting equipment is a requirement for photographers who want to master indoor photography. Studio photographers know that they can't make room lights their primary light source because these types of light are difficult to manipulate. A studio photographer will also need a reflector to illuminate the dark side from which the subject is positioned.

During cloudy days and the photographer does not have a complete set of lighting equipment yet, he or she may choose to shoot using a slow shutter speed. It is also a requirement to use a tripod when the slow shutter speed mode is on. To make sure that the subject will not have to pose still for too long, photographers may decide to shoot with highest ISO.

DIY photography is all about demonstrating resourcefulness. The more resourceful a novice photographer is, the more he is likely to succeed in whatever kind of photography style he or she chooses to deal with--- be it is classic family portrait, family photography or portrait photography.
