Still Life
You do not need a fully-kitted out studio for Still Life
Photography. You can keep it simple by
utilising a space in your home with natural light through a nearby window and a
couple of lamps, a table and a simple backdrop such as a length of material, or
backdrop paper or card, and a tripod to ensure you capture the sharpest image
possible.
If you are shooting still life photography in a studio
setting then you may wish to use one or two smaller studio lights such as a
Softbox or beauty dish.
Portraits
For a portrait photo shoot in the studio, you will need a
larger amount of space for a number of people (such as a large family), you
will also have more lights to contend with, a tripod, and larger backdrops as
more floor space will be needed. You may
also have other equipment such as reflectors, wireless flash triggers, props
etc.
