Here's where I shoot my indoor stuff.

[Doug T.]

This is where I do most of the photos I shoot indoors. Cameras, flower close ups, etc.
I inherited the desk from my mother in law. It was painted black, so I stripped it and did a refinishing.
The chair I got in pieces at an auction. Fixed and refinished that as well.
The foam board and poster board cost me 2 dollars at a dollar store.
Tripod came from a yard sale, 5 dollars.
The lighting was free



Just thought someone might be interested.

What a great and simple setup, I might copy this one, unless it is copyrighted? Thanks for sharing this!

I've been building a studio for a long time, but this works great for most of what I do.
I've also set up the umbrellas and done portraits here as well.
The lighting is great in this corner of the house.

Just shows that knowing how to work with what you have is more important than having the 'right' piece of equipment for a certain photo situation.

I saw an "Anitques Road Show" once where a guy had an old piece of furniture that had been painted. He thought the maroon paint was hidious so he stripped and refinished it in a natural wood finish. Although it was pretty valuable refinished, it would have been worth 10 times more with the original paint. It seems that mahogany was in fashion, but was very expensive, so they painted furniture in the same colors to resemble the fancy wood. I guess we do the same thing with all the ready-to-asseble furniture made from particle board. It only looks expensive.
