Ihrings Homestudio 1

Building your home studio with flood lights from the local hardware store is a cheap way to get started in studio lighting.

In the first film of his series, Lars Ihring, photographer and lighting expert since his university days, shows us what you need to use flood lights and to build diffusers for them in order to soften the light they give off. In keeping with the desire to minimize upfront costs, Lars Ihring shows you how to use inexpensive pieces of wood, brackets and a sheet baking paper to build your own diffusers.

A complete list of supplies accompanies the film. This will allow you to begin working in your home studio with a minimal investment of under $150.
