11 Things Every Photo Studio Needs

We spend a lot of time talking about camera gear and lenses, but of course, a photo studio needs more equipment than that — a lot more, in fact. If you are outfitting a new studio space or looking to add a bit to yours, check out this great video that discusses 11 things every photo studio should have. 

Coming to you from John Gress, this awesome video discusses 11 things every photo studio should have. Sure, things like clamps and c-stands are not as fun to discuss and purchase as some exciting new lens, but the difference quality accessories can make in your work life is huge. As Gress mentions, one thing I think every studio should definitely have is a set of v-flats. As far as photography equipment goes, v-flats are very cheap, but they give you a lot of bang for your buck, providing quite a bit of versatility for controlling lighting and doubling as easy, clean backdrops. If you are looking for more, I have also written about six things I have in my studio that are not photography-related but that make working far easier and more enjoyable. 

Check out the video above for the full rundown from Gress.
