How To Set Up A Basic Home Studio?
The answer is simple.
And by basic I mean the very least that you need to prepare.
What is a wireless flash trigger? Have you heard of Pocket Wizard?
If you have not, a wireless flash trigger is basically a radio transmitter device that triggers your flash remotely without connecting your flash to the camera's hot shoe.
Unlike the Pocket Wizards, the wireless flash trigger shown in the picture has a shorter range than its counterparts but the price is way much cheaper.
Next question, what is a softbox?
"A Soft box is a type of photographic lighting device, one of a number of photographic soft light devices. All the various soft light types create soft diffused light by directing light through some diffusing material, or by "bouncing" light off a second surface to diffuse the light. - Wikipedia "
There are many ways to set up your mini lighting system and it is totally based on personal preference.
As for me, this was how i set up my soft box.
Almost 45 degrees above the subject's head.
For some of my self portraits, I used a black sugar paper as a background.
And here's the results.
Only resizing and no editing was done. =)
