Are you a baller on a budget? Want to take studio portraits at home? Then this video is for you.

You don’t need to spend a ton of money on gear to get a sick home photo studio setup. Whether you are a beginner or more experienced photographer, you can create some awesome studio portraits in your own home with just a simple kit.

The main things that you need are a clean background and some studio lighting. I shot the photos in this tutorial just using a simple softbox continuous lighting setup and a collapsible muslin backdrop. You can even just use a white wall as your background if you want.

Here are links to the specific gear I used in this video (Amazon affiliate links):

LimoStudio 700W Photography Softbox Light Lighting Kit Photo Equipment Soft Studio Light Softbox 24″X24″ – $61.50

Fovitec StudioPRO – 5′ x 6.5′ Gray Double-Sided Pop-Out Muslin Backdrop – [Collapsible Background] – $54.95

Grand Total Spent on Studio Gear = $116.45

    The only thing is, the light is too close to her face. However, you did an amazing job!!!!

    I don’t think I would do it in my own home. I’ll do it in a studio.

    The pictures you present in the video look like they have a ton of green tint in them. Is that from the color from the light, or did you edit them to be that way?

    I ask because I’m looking for a temporary cheap studio set up, but I don’t want to sacrifice too much quality color 😬

    Thank you for sharing this video! I was actually surprised you got such great results with continuous lighting, but you managed to pull it off nicely. I have a home studio with three strobes, softboxes and umbrellas and this video makes me feel like I'm trying too hard lol. I also LOVE the pop-up backdrop. Nicely done! 🙂
