Shooting in small spaces

A few days ago James Andrews (@theNetImp) sent me a tweet about his small studio space. He suggested that I should make a video about shooting in small spaces. So I asked how many of my twitter followers had a studio smaller than 20×20. The response was overwhelming. So I asked them to send me links and photos so I could see these spaces. I’ve posted a few below.

I will be making a video about shooting in small spaces, but I’d like you to help me create it. I’d like you to answer a few questions:

  • How large is your studio or space (conference rooms, etc., count)
  • What specific issues are you seeing?
  • Do you have any tips or tricks you are willing to share?
  • What equipment are you using?
  • What have you been able to accomplish in your studio?

You can answer these questions by using the comments section below or just sending me a note on twitter (@jmarkwallace). I’d love to see the results of your work, so if you have work you’re proud of post a link in the comments section below.

Here are a few of the small spaces that I’ve seen so far.
