Studio De Arn Arn

I opened my photo studio!

Sorta…

I guess when people say photo studio, they think about a big room with a set, big lights, big umbrellas, reflectors and a computer system for post processing. I set up mine but it’s nowhere close to that.

I was able to save up and purchase some basic items – a reflector, 2 shoot through umbrellas, a silver umbrella, 2 white lamps and stands. I also bought a tripod a few months ago to replace my infamous monopod (made out of a plastic broom stick). I have a reflector that’s made out of a Quaker Oats container lined with foil. Never buy what you can make.

I’m still in the process of learning photography and all its aspects especially lighting and composition. I use a beat up second hand D80 but I invested in some good lenses to compensate.

One day I invited my friends for a photoshoot. I posted the pics here -->

I say there’s plenty of room for improvement but it’s not bad for a first shoot.
