Taking portraits in the whole shed at home. How big is the background cloth? How many watts of lamps do you need?

It depends on the size of your home. The bigger the shed, the better, and the darker the surrounding walls, the better, which is conducive to lighting.

I also set up a studio in my living room of more than 20 square meters. At that time, I made a set with a total price of 2000. Tell me about some of my experiences:

Background cloth: Buy non-woven fabric or background paper, which is better but easy to break. Non-woven fabric is cheaper. They are all sold by the meter, and there are several specifications for width. See how big your living room can hold.

Background frame: used to fix the background cloth. I bought the assembled frame myself and clipped the background cloth on the frame. There is also a scroll mounted on the wall, which hangs down like a curtain. But if you don't want to destroy the wall at home, buy an assembly rack and take it out for assembly when necessary.

Lamps and lanterns: generally there are 2~3 lamps, equipped with umbrellas and soft boxes. Of course, the greater the power, the better, but considering the cost performance, take a single portrait at home and buy a set of W above 200w W. I bought a domestic brand. You search online, Taobao sellers have many suits, just consult the owner.

Generally speaking, because of the limitation of the living room area, buying such a suit is most suitable for taking a bust, and the light is relatively uniform; Full-length portrait, legs may not have enough light. It is enough to meet the general needs, but it is a bit difficult to shoot the effect of a professional studio.
