Studio Photography

These are some of the things I get up to in my little 25m² home studio. I’ve long accepted we live in an imperfect world. Nothing can ever be perfect. One can only ever optimise, learn, and optimise again. Consequently I consider most of my projects essentially a bunch of engineering compromises. This project has certainly had it’s fair share of those!

Moreover, if I’m spending my own money on a project, then in addition to bangs per buck I’m also looking for sustainability, particularly in terms of ease of repair and maintenance. This is common sense really, since I’m the poor bugger who’ll have to do the repairs! Most importantly I try to engineer my projects so that either as a whole or as component parts they can be redeployed or repurposed for other things, if the original intent does not work-out as planned. This worked out nicely for me during lockdown when I was able to repurpose the studio for building GNU/Linux media servers, amongst many other things.

Anyway, I hope that some of the articles in this section will be of use to other people, particularly those who are undertaking studio projects of their own.
