Photography Studio Layout

Now that the layout is finalized and the walls are framed, I started taking a look at studio layout today.
I can set up in different ways, depending on the subject to camera distance needed. This set up shows a 9' wide backdrop, with a softbox and an octabox at 45 degree angles to the subject, with a backlight on a boom.




This is the same set up turned in the studio to allow more camera to subject distance:



For decades, there have been stock photo houses that charged hundreds to thousands of dollars for a single image. The internet and digital photography has changed all of that. There are numerous stock image sites online now. I plan to shoot stock images in the studio for upload to various sites. Some poeple make pennies per month on downloads, others make thousands of dollars per month. I'd be happy get to the point to make enough money in downloads per month to cover the rent on the studio (approx $700 per month).

Time for lunch...
Gotta run.
