Low Budget Shooting, published by rockynook , is a great collection of ideas on how to build studio equipment. The book takes the idea that 1) its cheaper to do it your self and 2) you get what you really need in the end. Cyrill Harnischmacher, does a great job of explaining what is going on and what effects you will get with the equipment you build. Most of the book is about light management (softboxes, reflectors, and other diffusers). I was very happy to see his designs for small seamless backgrounds and table frames. All in all this is a very comprehensive book on building your own equipment. One thing that struck me about this book is that its more about the description of the equipment and there are no blue-prints or ikea like instructions to build them. Cyrill, just explains how to build this and why your doing things this way. It gives you the ability to tinker and play with the construction, something that I found very nice. |
