Wanting to start inhome portrait studio?

Posted by admin on September 23rd, 2009 and filed under portrait studio | 1 Comment »

I’m wanting to create some type of inhome portrait studio but am not sure what equip to buy. I’d like to be able to take portraits of my kids using different colored backdrops and props. (like how Sears or Jcpenney does)

I have a Canon Rebel XTI digital camera. Canon external flash and 300 zoom lens. Photoshop program on my computer and nice photo printer. What else do I need to purchase? Any other tips or advice?

Off camera flash/strobe or continuous lighting, backdrops, but mostly…

You need to have the ability to use the camera. Is this a hobby thing?? or a business thing??

If hobby, you can get material for backdrops and lighting from fabric stores, home improvement stores, etc…

Hope this is a start.
