craig_makela Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 <p>Hi everyone,<br> I recently took up the hobby of photography and have done a lot of research and reading on my own to learn. Lately, my wife and I really enjoy doing some portraits for friends, family, etc. I shoot and she takes care of posing and props.<br> Since we have no equipment, we set up a sheet over a window and take pictures there, but I'd like to slowly invest in some in-home studio equipment. Basically I only have a camera and flash right now. Sony A300, Sony 50 1.4, Sony 18-70 (kit), and Sony 70-300 (kit), HVL-F58AM Flash.<br> I don't plan on charging for my services right now, but maybe later after I do some upgrading. Are there any suggestions on what I should look for to start a home studio? What is the bare minimum to have a basic home studio going? I don't want to have a price range, but I generally go for equipment that not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either.<br> Thanks,<br> Craig</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_paul1 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 <p>Craig- you might want to ask your question over at the 'Portrait & Fashion Forum'. Since they specialize in that type of questions, they might give you a better answer.</p> <p>http://photo.net/portraits-and-fashion-photography-forum/</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_makela Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 <p>Thanks Robert, perhaps it is a better spot. I was just posting it here thinking that some people who have similar equipment as mine may have been able to work something out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
