Q regarding finding a space to do photoshoots
I need some help guys. My home is too small to do photoshoots and I'm too broke to rent a studio space. Shooting outdoors isn't always an option especially during winter so what's a guy to do?

It is available for hourly rental and occasionally there are group shoots held there: https://www.peerspace.com/pages/listing … 000dc121dd Sep 15 22 04:32 am Link Do what you can with the space you have. That may mean 3/4 shots, boudoir, etc. Every indoor shot in my portfolio was taken in a small house or townhouse of 1,200 square feet or less. There are photographers who do motel room shoots when they travel. A small home may be limiting, but that doesn’t mean you can’t shoot anything. Do shoots appropriate to larger spaces open to the public. Shoot outside when weather permits.

Sep 15 22 02:33 pm Link Define too broke? I know many photographers that have a studio space, myself included, will rent out the space to other photographers for a 1/2 day or full day for a reasonable fee. That way you're not committed to a monthy rent bill and can make use of the space as needed. I know a few of the shooters I rent to will book my space for a full day then schedule multiple shoots throughout the day to maximize the use of their rental fee. Just to illustrate my rates are $100.00 per hour $300.00 for 1/2 day (4 hours) $500.00 for a full day (8 hours) Those rates include lights, reflectors, flats, backdrops, props... basically everything except your cameras and your talent.

See what you can do with toys, dioramas, splashes, food, still life. Macro work. Shoot ants, snowflakes, the light reflecting inside a metal tube, etc. Work on your headshots. Detail shots. Fingers on keyboards, lips blowing across a steaming coffee cup. Shoot your kids, your pets, something you love. There's always Photoshop to learn. Hopefully in a few months you will have more opportunities to work outside again. Dec 29 22 08:05 am Link |
