Setting up a photo and video studio
You may need a studio for both photo and video work. This can be a first home studio or a professional setup. In both cases you can make your studio as large or as small as you need. You can also choose between a fixed installation or a mobile studio that is easy to put away. Consider this when setting up your photo studio. Our studio buying guide will help you on your way.
Start with the basics
Whether you're professionally setting up a camera studio or making a home studio, a good foundation makes all the difference. Think about the right studio light for photography, the right working height, a stable surface and enough power points. Also make sure you have a quiet space without reflective surfaces. Are you also buying studio products for video recordings? Pay extra attention to studio lighting and acoustics.
Take it to the next level
Do you already have experience in studio photography and want to improve your setup? Invest in advanced studio equipment. Think about expanding with multiple light sources and light shapers or a flexible hanging system for multiple backgrounds. Or improve your workflow with smart accessories such as wireless triggers or light meters. With the right upgrades you'll work more efficiently and creatively, and take your photo studio to the next level.

Frequently asked questions about studio
For a good home studio you start with a suitable space where you can move freely. Provide a neutral background (or use background paper), one or more studio lights, a sturdy tripod and optionally a reflector screen. Starting small is fine, you can always expand!
Flash lighting is short, powerful and perfect for photography where you "freeze" the subject, such as portraits or product photography. Continuous lighting (such as LED lamps or energy-saving bulbs) burns constantly and is ideal for video recordings or if you want to see the result of the light directly on your camera. Flash lighting is usually stronger; continuous lighting is more user-friendly and calmer for models or children.
Combine the best of both worlds: choose studio lights suitable for both applications (such as LED lights with adjustable colour temperature), a flexible background setup and an arrangement where you can easily switch between video and photo cameras. For video, pay extra attention to sound absorption, cable management and a quiet, non-reflective space.
Think first about what you want to photograph or film. For portrait photography, softboxes or beauty dishes are popular. For video, a continuous light source with adjustable colour temperature is ideal. Photographing products? Then flashes with reflectors or diffusers are handy. Start with one light source and expand with a second for more depth.
With the right accessories you work faster, more comfortably and more creatively. Think of wireless triggers for your flashes, cables with cable management, tripods with quick release, background systems and storage solutions. A remote control, tethering tools and a good laptop stand can also make your shoot more efficient. Small tools, big difference!
