6 Professional Tips For Shooting in a Small Photography Studio



With over 25 years of professional photography experience, in this episode, I’m offering advice on how you can make the most of small studio spaces and how you can control your lighting from bouncing around all over the place.

I get lots of comments on this topic, many photographers are working from home or a garage or simply don’t have a large studio and they often struggle to control their lighting.

A small number of my photos have required a larger space. I now use my own studio for these shoots but in the past, I’ve rented studios or warehouses to get the job done.

Most of my commercial photography jobs don’t require much more than a few meters so here’s my 6 steps on how you can shoot great images in a small space.
