Model Estella-Rose takes a break during a dance-themed photo-shoot to demonstrate the remote control for the motorised backdrop system,[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThese are some of the things I get up to in my little 25m\u00b2 home studio. I've long accepted we live in an imperfect world. Nothing can ever be perfect<\/em>. One can only ever optimise, learn, and optimise again<\/em>. Consequently I consider most of my projects essentially a bunch of engineering compromises<\/em>. This project has certainly had it's fair share of those!<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMoreover, if I'm spending my own money<\/em> on a project, then in addition to bangs per buck<\/em> I'm also looking for sustainability, particularly in terms of ease of repair and maintenance<\/em>. 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.\r\n\r\nAnyway, 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.","link":"https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/category\/photography\/studio\/","name":"Studio Photography","slug":"studio","taxonomy":"category","parent":680,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nStudio Photography Archives - GarfNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Some of the things I get up to in my relatively small 25m\u00b2 home studio.
