I’ve never been much for studio and still-life photography. Just couldn’t see the point. The charm with nature photography is to actually be out there in the nature. But lately I’ve started wondering if I should try to explore new aspects of photography so I decided to build a mock studio to see if I can create something new. It’s a total DIY job, I’m certainly not going to spend thousands of SEK on something I won’t use (I’ve already got a closet full of stuff I don’t use!). The cost so far is 130 SEK and you’d keel over laughing if you saw it, but it works! Sort of… I still need to invest in better lighting (160 SEK) and some backgrounds, but we are not talking about any brand names here.

I can see the potential and this would certainly be something to do during those long dark winter evenings. Now I just have to find some bits and bobs to shoot in my DIY studio…
