finally someone who makes it all sound possible and not intimidating or so expensive that I will never be able to begin. Thank you!
Awwww so happy to hear that Leslie! I know how it is when starting... I’ve been there so I find it super important to recommend the most affordable gear at least to start with. :) I hope you enjoy my channel! 😍🙏🏼❤️
Leslie Unger 😎 yes!
@@LauraBC I agree with Leslie. Makes me feel so much better that I'm not a professional photographer but it doesn't have to be so daunting. I have an estate jewelry business do you have any specific recommendations for getting soft, but tight and detailed photos? If it makes sense to have this convo in another stream let me know. Thanks! good stuff
Yes!!!!! So glad I found Her!!!!! 🎉🤗
Hey Laura, I cannot express how much I admire you. You really highlight that it is all about attitude and hard work. So much of your advice applies to me :)
Your personality at the first few minutes made me subscribe to your channel , you so positive and I love your smile , thanks .
Thank you so much for your beautiful words Haim. They really mean a lot! I’m so happy to have you here in my channel! :) Big hug from London!
@@LauraBC 100% I also subscribed in the first few seconds of watching. Nice 1
Same
I agree
That is so funny because I immediately within the first minute and a half also decided to hit the subscribe button because I already felt like she’s going to be great to hang out with. Indeed, great personality.
I’m trying to start a little photography studio in my bedroom and I’m so happy to have found your channel and this video!! Thank you! Love how encouraging you are! ❤️ definitely subscribed!!
Awww thank you so much! I'm so happy to have helped you. It makes me very excited to help others with the same problems I encountered myself years ago. :)
So glad that you feel encouraged! We, photographers and creatives, really need that from time to time to stay motivated. Any questions please just ask. :)
Welcome to my channel and thanks for joining me here! :) Hugs from London!
Your energy is so amazing. This is the first video of yours I have seen, but it was suggested because I'm looking to add a small studio to my home. I have the confidence after watching this video to maximize the space I have and that I won't need thousands of dollars to get high quality work.
Thank you so much Damon! 😍 I really hope you enjoy my channel. Best of luck with the studio. As you see, we can manage not expending much. 💪🏼 Big hug from London! :)
This video is so encouraging. It really motivates me to hear how you started and how small your place is. You have such beautiful work. I would've never believed it was done there! love it! I will definitely get that flash as well. I thought they were way more expensive. Thanks for this!
Hi Sara! Yes! The flash is definitely well worth it and super affordable. It’s the one I use now for professional work and it works great! :)
Thanks a lot for your watching. I’m so glad you found it encouraging. 💪🏼 Big hug from London! :)
LOVED hearing your story and LOVED these affordable tips! Super concise and very well-explained 🤘🏼
Hi Daniel! Thank you so much for your comment. I’m soooo happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it useful. I absolutely love to help with what I humbly can! Hugs from London! I hope you enjoy my channel! :)
Gracias Laura for your great channel which I discovered yesterday. Glad to see Iberian photographers making it.
Thank you so much! The most helpful video I’ve watched❤
You're so inspiring, Laura. I really really buzz off these videos. 👏
Fantastic, relatable video - Thank you!
Laura, this is awesome! I'm currently working remotely from my parent's bedroom as a video editor for financial company, while also trying to grow myself as freelance video editor and videographer. I just ordered paperback drops, and some studio lights and you've given me a lot of ideas on how to make my small space work. Excited to see what else you do, subscribed!
Hi Sam! That's amazing! So nice to hear your story. I'm so glad to have contributed to the set up of your new creative space! 😍
Thanks a lot for joining my channel! I hope you enjoy my videos! Big hug from London! :) Keep creating! 🎥 ❤️
Thank you so much for this video!❤
Thank you Laura, this was so helpful helping me decide what was important for a small studio setup. I found it very motivating to hear how you started, and all your recommendations.
I just love you Laura. So so real.
Thank you so much Awa! 😍 I hope you enjoy my channel! :)
I just watched 2 videos of her and I always feel more motivated and convinced that I can do this too 😇
Respect the hustle. Subscribed.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy my channel. Happy to have you around here! :) Hugs from London!
Back in the early 90's I had to run some film to a local studio. I was shocked at the size of it, both big AND small. Big in the fact they had a white wall and it curved where it met the floor to be seamless. He had a gallon of paint beside it because they would constantly repaint to keep it perfectly white (remember, this is way before Photoshop). It was small in the fact that he showed me an area they did tight portraits, much like your examples. A large softbox, hair light on a black background. I couldn't believe how tight the area was! I had no idea that portraiture could be done like that and it helped my , years later, set up my first studio.
Now Neewer and other companies, plus digital make portraiture SO much more affordable and accessible. This was a great video to let people know that they can do this. Keep it up, Laura!
I get you sooo well! Time ago everything was so inaccesible and gear way much more expensive. Now, knowing a bit what to get, we can build a decent studio even in tiny places for professional work. Thanks a lot for watching and bringing me back to the old photography era. 😍🎞 Big hug from London! :)
Absolutely phenomenal work Laura! Keep it on!
Thank you so much Ricardo! :))) ❤️
I am blown away like.... How come?! You are so creative, Angel. Intro and your speech. On point 🎯
Awww thank you so much for the amazing words! Sending u loads of love from London! :)
@@LauraBC You are welcome. I will try and use your technique for my small home studio too. Thanks 😊.
@@BracketReviews Amazing! I’m glad I could help. It’s nice to be able to have a home studio for our own projects or professional work. 📸❤️
Incredibly helpful thank you sm
Thank you Isaac! Glad to hear that you found it useful. I hope you enjoy my channel! :)
so inspiring! 😍
you earned yourself a subscriber thanks to your easy explanation and enthusiasm! thanks for this video!
Hi guys! I hope this video helped you build your awesome home photography studio! ❤️
Subscribe here for weekly videos! :) laurabc.com/youtube
Finally, someone who shots in a tiny space like I have. Absolute killer tips!
Yessss!! Thank you Heiko! So nice to know that you also shoot in a small space. Here in London I had no choice. Renting an external studio is not sustainable when already paying so much for the flat! 😅 Big hug! I hope you like my channel. ❤️
Laura u are the best!!!!!! Thank you!!!
I love that background. I live in a small place too, and it's difficult to make that depth that a lot of TH-camrs have in a smaller space but I made it work. I might paint my walls matte black after seeing this video. Great job, I've subbed
Thank you so much Samuel! ❤️ So happy to know that you liked the video. Thanks for subscribing! I hope you enjoy my channel. I love black backgrounds. 😄 It’s true that is harder to get depth in a small place. We manage anyhow with what we have right? :) Good idea about those black walls. 💪🏼
2:09 - 2:10 one of the best photographic concepts I've ever seen!!! Love it!!
Thanks Laura! Your vids and tips are godsent. ✨
Love your Ikea pole back!
This was an amazing video! It was so helpful and insightful and I can't wait to try your tips out!
Thank you so much! It makes me super happy to know that you've enjoyed the video! 😊 I hope you enjoy my channel! 📸❤

You just motivated me to use my shipping container for a studio photography.. seriously .. I am using it for screen printing and now I will add a back drop (black fabric) and some lights and BINGO! .. thank you so much. You are awesome!

Hey Laura! Your best video yet - great job! And the photos you show during the video ... are stunning! Have a nice weekend! 😊
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback coming from you. :) I really want to learn video so I want to push myself recording more b-roll to make my videos more entertaining while providing knowledge. Let’s see how it goes. Nice to hear you like my photos too. Can’t wait to take more portrait work but for now they will have to be self-portraits... It doesn’t look like we gonna come out from the lockdown any time soon here London... 🤦🏻♀️ Have an amazing weekend you too! 😊
Amazing work! Super clear and effective 👌
Thank you so much Etchd! :) So glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Hugs from London! :)
Some good unbiased advice here and so honestly presented. Should be noted the car size backdrops (think 2.18 metre) are around same price as the 2.72M - if you look at the Tetenal website. When I started there wasn't a car size option but luckily the 2.7 metere drop fitted in my Nissan hatchback and later Camry saloon from one corner of the boot (trunk) through to the passenger seat footwell or resting on the dash against the windscreen :/
I might later saw off a piece to give me a more practical length of backdrop to work with on a client's premises. So I had to use stands which I agree are the biggest pain for using up floor space but lightweight and one of the few pieces of equipment you will never need to replace. These paper rolls are easy to cut with a regular hand saw meaning you shouldn't be put off getting a 2.7 metre drop. You can then cut to the size that suits your needs.
As I said price difference between 2.18 (or 2.08) and full size is negligible depending on where you look :)
I am learning alots from this and you really made it easy Laura so Much respect for you ❤
I love every bit of your creativity. You’re inspiring I must say
Awww thank you so much! It makes me very happy to hear that. I hope you enjoy my channel Magnus! :)

"It's gonna work, if you make it work". Thank you for this.
Gracias por existir Laura. Se me hace raro escuchar una paisana en idioma extranjero, pero estoy acostumbrado a escuchar nacionalidades de todas partes de Europa... Muchas gracias por este y los demás videos que compartes en tu canal. Son muy enriquecedores... Llevo unos 6 años dedicado a la fotografía pero más informal. Todo se debe gracias a una clienta del hotel donde trabajo que, al ser fotógrafa, me invitó a conocer más de cerca este mundo. A día de hoy hago fotografía de eventos, productos e inmobiliaria. Otros estilos como street o minimalismo lo dejo para el ámbito personal. Quería decirte en nombre de todos los que te seguimos, aprendemos de ti y disfrutamos con tus vídeos, muchas gracias por compartir con tanta energía y seguridad. Este vídeo, que puede parecer uno más del montón, es de los más esclarecedores que he visto en años... Fijate, sólo el hecho de que des por sentado que el estudio lo tienes en casa, sin más... No te importa cómo se ve, sino cómo trabajas y qué le ofreces a tus clientes... Ese pequeño matiz es para mí de las mayores grandezas que le he oído a un fotógrafo profesional en mucho mucho tiempo. Tu honestidad cuando hablas de la marca de tu Flash, los consejos para buscar soluciones prácticas y baratas... Dice mucho de ti... Tienes aquí un seguidor, suscriptor, fan número no se cuántos mil y un humilde fotógrafo agradecido de verdad. Que te vaya siempre bien y que no dejes de ofrecernos ese poquito de ti que para nosotros es muy muy mucho...
Great quality video, great content, and your photography work is amazing.
Awww thank you so much Musa! ❤️ Hugs from London! :))
ahhhh this is perfect, this is exactly what I need for my home studio. Thank you so sooo much!!! much love from Houston, TX.
So nice to hear this Khoi! As you can see, it’s quite easy and very affordable to do it. And you get a creative space at home to play with! 😍❤️ Big love all the way to Houston! :)
