How to Start in Studio Photography online course: The Equipment.

44 Flares 44 Flares ×

This is our new interactive online course made specifically for photographers who want to start working in the studio. This is the first part of a series of courses we are planning to release to help fellow photographers and entusiasts to start in studio photography. We’ll cover everything, from all kinds of cameras and lenses, to a grip and studio stands, booms and arms, from various lighting systems to a variety of available lighting modifiers and DIY solutions, and much more.

It can be so frustrating and expensive to go error-and-trial way when it comes to a studio equipment, and I am sure this course will save your time and money.

 

Studio Photography Equipment: from A to Z

 

What you will learn about Studio Photography?

Every day I receive emails from fellow photographers with questions asking for my suggestions about studio lighting, cameras and lenses, grip and support for the light modifiers, and even more questions about how to use all this equipment.
This online course is a complete guide for a beginner of studio photography, as well as for all experiences of photographers who want to expand their expertise in studio photography. This 3 hour video course consist from 3 parts, and each part was followed by 15-20 minutes interactive Q&A chat session with me.


What people are saying about this course:

The “Grips and Support” session was a favorite of mine because I had so many questions that you helped answer. For instance, as a landscape photographer, I have a ballhead for my tripod – I didn’t understand why a geared head was recommended for the studio.
Well, now I know. I could see how you used the geared head and how the tiny adjustments and precise positioning would be suited to the detail work in a studio. Plus, just seeing you use and describe the focus rail, stands and attachments, articulated arms, booms/mini boom, counterweights, clamps and everything else in this session really helped make sense of all the gear. Also, the explanation of the types of lights used in the studio was great information and especially your strong emphasis on the importance of light modifiers.

Oh my, so much to learn! Alex, your passion for photography is contagious. Your work speaks for itself – you are a master. But, thankfully, you are also an excellent teacher. And not only do you explain the process, the technical aspects of photography, but you provide encouragement, inspiration and a challenge to be creatively curious. Great job Alex!
~Cynthia Orie

The course was very well prepared and easy to understand. The chat during the course was a great feature too. It helped a lot to clarify open questions immediately. As a “one-man” instructor Alex did a great job to handle all the technical procedure. And last but not least, I had fun and learned a lot.

Thanks a billion for the awesome Equipment class! It was so informative, inspirational. exciting, and interesting to learn all kinds of tools studio photographers should use to make our work easier and more productive. We were so fortunate to have the lighting magician be our class instructor and answering all our questions! Again, Thank you so much!
~Joel Weinstock

Just finished watching these and I have to say they’re great. Besides the major gear like camera/lens/lights, its the little things like which arms,clamps and styles of diffusion material such as the Translum and pieces of styrofoam that really make the difference. For those (like myself) just getting into studio product photography, that information is absolutely priceless and I’m sure these videos will save everyone a lot of time and expense. There’s so much expensive ‘quick fix’ junk on the internet and its really refreshing to see someone who’s already been there and done it cut straight to the good stuff.
