Vitamin supplements in a home studio.
As long as you’ve got a table of some kind and a spare corner of a living room or basement, you can easily and inexpensively set up a small studio at home. If you can rustle up some gaffer tape, a wall, bed sheets, transparent shower curtains, paper, cardboard boxes, desklamps, string or fishing line, clamps and clothes stands, you’ll have all you need to provide lighting, backdrops, reflectors, diffusers and supports. All that remains is to pick up your camera and start shooting.
Taking things a step further, you could go shopping for one of the Strobist kits that MPEX puts together that start at $120, and you’ll have all you ever need. These kits come with umbrellas, cables, light stands, radio triggers and in some cases even a flash.
From there, the sky is the limit. You can mix and match store bought with DIY accessories, experiment with different gels, make snoots and grids, bounce light off things, use house plants as gobo’s and more. You’re really only limited by your imagination.
