Cheap studio outfitting

Posted by Haje Jan Kamps

Well, just when I thought we had seen all the tutorials possible on studio lighting, Michael Quack comes along and proves me wrong. In his DIY guide to cheap studio lighting, he attacks the whole process of outfitting a complete studio with gusto.

The DIY guide also doubles as an introduction to studio photography and studio equipment. Quack also doesn’t only explain which bits you need, but talks about why you might need them, and how they affect the overal studio photography process. All in all it’s an interesting read, whether you’re a pro studio photographer, or someone who has never even seen the inside of a studio.

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
