Let's see your home studios

I don't have a home studio. Everything I shoot is outdoors. If there is something I plan to shoot inside, then I set up lights, reflector, table etc..

Here is what I have for a home studio, I have a number of stands, diffusers, back drops, Photoflex softboxes and Photogenic 3 Strobe Light Web Kit which includes a pretty cool 24" Smith Victor Shooting Table. One of my favorite tools is a Manfrotto Magic Arm. I have this holding up the light on the right hand side. So many ways to use this.



Now those white screens are suppose to spread out the light making it less harsh right?

In Hong Kong space is tight (I guess having 3 kids doesn't help matters... oh and our maid takes up a room...). ;)



Must be nice to have a maid. :ohmy:


LOL I know to people from the US or Australia or England and other such places (New Zealand). HAving a maid seems like "wow that dude's rich" LOL.

In HK having a maid isn't too expensive and even relatively poor people have them (they mainly come from Indonesia and the Philippines). You see we don't have the daycare system here so that's the alternative.

That said... yes it's nice to have a maid. I haven't washed the dishes in years. When I do it's actually fun because I forgot what it's like. :lol:

Well HK life isn't for everyone. At least you (probably) live in a house with a yard and own a car etc. Also you probably have plenty of time on the weekends. In HK they're the busiest times.

;) That's a pretty good flash. For people that don't have flash experience are those pretty easy to use or learn at least?

Not the way HK works. People in HK generally work harder and do more things than people in other countries (by working "harder" I mean "work long hours").

Generally speaking people don't leave work till after their boss leaves. Which means they hang out at work trying to look busy LOL.

On the weekends they fill their time with activities they can't do on the week days. Which means usually a lot of classes for kids (if you have a family). Or doing shopping, going out with friends etc. if you're single (I know people do that in Western countries. But it's just harder to relax and do nothing in this culture.

Basically, it's a busy, busy place.

Well I fit into the "look busy" category. ;)

Like I said, working long hours ≠ working hard. ;) The system here is dumb. They'd be better off letting people leave at 5 and forcing companies to pay overtime (so they'd force people to leave at 5 ;) ). That way people could have more spare time.

Also, traveling around HK during peak hour is pretty tough. The public transport is great, but the crowds are phenomenal.
