DIY / Makeshift Photography Studio

[g_girl143]

---

First of all, I'd like to respectfully request the mods to add a new section called Do-It-Yourself section or DIY section because I think a lot of pro photographers and photography enthusiasts could share a lot of knowledge on how to make this hobby more eco and budget friendly

Anyway, I'd like to share my DIY / Makeshift photography studio with you guys. I'm a new DSLR owner and am always looking for ways to improve my craft. I especially want to improve how I take studio portraits but with the lack of budget for studio equipment, it's hard to practice.

With the help of friends, we were able to create a makeshift studio. Here it is.






Equipment: (BTW, this is office namu sa Student Press)

My T300ex benro tripod bought from an istoryan at a bargain

Black cloth nga gi thumbtack sa bungbung and ipit sa locker *any textile store

Banig nga naa foil sa ilalum (used as reflector) na gi ipit sa locker *sa merkado naa man guru ni

Hallogen flood light. Yellow ang light so had to adjust the white balance as much as I could. It was also so bright na amu i-redirect ang light to the reflectors by putting an empty zesto box in front sa iya. I also experimented on placing a styro in front of it (styro naay buslot) and placed white semi transparent folder cover para filter kuno. It worked at getting my desired white balance until the styro almost got burned because of the heat sa hallogen LOL

We had also added in a regular bulb for 2 lights instead of one. All in all, these should cost less than 2K. I didn't spend anything on mine since all these equipment, I found in our office

Enhancements done via Photoshop.

Hehhe, your welcome, @foldofus. Nanggawas ra jud ang resourcefulness sa ako mga friends when we were desperately in need of a studio (nagshoot man gud mi ug short film na need ang negative space) mau to nakapangita ug ahat and that's when we discovered na nindot man diay ang lighting pang studio. Kulang pa mi lights pero now that we know unsa ang needed, dali ra makaset up jud. Gipangita pa nako aha dapit mapalit ning banig nga naay foil kay grabe kagamit, and to think masbarato ra na kesa mga reflectors. Daku pa jud kaayu, ana pa galactic_armada, pang full body reflector.

Mau2x pero one side raman to nga naa foil. Banig jud siya nga banig sa pikas side....I think masbarato, mas gaan tong banig pero this is a great option pud, at least two sides na foam, ehehe. Murag mas lig-un sad kumpara sa banig

I hear naa daw sa UNITOP. Pangitaun nako.
