The Size of the Studio Through the use of three examples, I would like to show you different possibilities of how to design your home studio, from the mini studio to the mobile studio, as well as a complete tabletop studio solution. But, first the question: What do you want to photo- graph? If you generally work with closeup photogra- phy, your requirements regarding light and space are completely different than with still life and product Appealing results can be produced even with minimal expenditure. A mini-seamless backdrop made from cardboard, an off-camera flash, and an attachable diffuser are all that is needed to get started. How- ever, your photographic options will be somewhat limited.
