Tips For Novice Photographers: Making A Makeshift Studio

by Cindy Miller

Creating a makeshift studio is common to people who are starting to build their career as a studio photographer. While a makeshift studio will not be able to completely copy the structure of a studio that that a professional photographer occupies, budding photographers can always find ways to make their makeshift studio as functional as possible.

To make the room spacious enough, novice photographers can choose to move away obstructions, such as storage containers and pieces of furniture. With regard to blocking off unwanted light, photographers can cover open spaces like windows with cardboard or dark, thick curtains. They may also choose to retain existing light sources particularly those which they can use in capturing their desired photo effects.

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 are usually used in adhering light backdrops to the wall. This kind of adhering material does not leave big holes in the wall. But obviously, it will not do a good job in terms of holding heavy backdrops. In cases like this, photographers will have to use backdrop stands.

Investing in additional lighting equipment is also a requirement for photographers who want to master indoor photography. Studio photographers know that they cannot make room lights their primary light source because these light sources are difficult to manipulate. A studio photographer will also need a reflector to make sure that the light is balance from all corners of the room.

For cloudy weather and the photographer does not have all the lighting equipment yet, they can be creative by shooting with slow shutter speed. A tripod is a requirement when this photography mode is on. For the the person that is being photographed to avoid posing still for too long, indoor photographers should use the highest ISO when shooting with slow shutter speed.

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--- whether it is classic family portrait, <a href='http://www.portraitgallery.com.sg/port.html'>portrait photography</a>, or <a href='http://www.portraitgallery.com.sg/blog/2012/classic-family-portrait-2'>Family photography</a>.
