I'm trying to dig out some photos of my earlier versions of my studio (back when I was using posterboard). Because I don't think everyone needs this much stuff to take good photos. But of course it means that I can take photos at night!

I'll have some more on styling and post-processing on the blog ... maybe later this week.

But there is far more candy in that room that the photos show. I kind of moved things around and hid some things from the camera (not catching that mess in those mirrors back there was tough).

Ooo, I can't wait to learn more from you Cybele! My set up is so ghetto compared to yours, hahaha. I really need to invest in a good light, I am only using a tungsten slide bulb in a clamp light. The rest of my setup consists of a hollowed out box with posterboard and tracing paper as a (useless) diffuser.

That's very interesting! I've seen such a shooting table at a store recently, but I'm not entirely shure how much it boosts the quality of the pictures. Do you think it's a good investment? At 400$ it was quite expensive, though.

Like the Grand Canyon - I think that lighting makes far more difference than the shooting surface. The nice thing about the plexi is that it's easy to clean up. You've seen how gooey some of my candies can be.

However, there are some nice infinite background options that are far less expensive ... or you can go really and just use some posterboard. (I still have my posterboard from my original setup that I use for bounce - they're tucked between the cart & the little tool area.)

I don't think the shooting table was quite as much as $400 (but I don't know since it was a gift).
