Some professions don’t fare well in a confined office. Professional photography may be one of those. We go where the action is. Green screens are for amateurs when it comes to still photography. You want to take pictures in the raw, where things are real, not digital. Not that you don’t use digital photography, but nothing quite compares to having your subject reacting to nature. It doesn’t matter if its family photography or wedding photography. Your subject needs to be in a natural environment. And you need to have all of your equipment to make sure it looks as natural as possible. In the old days you would keep all of your flags, silks, power packs, booms, light stands, soft boxes, props, and back drops at your studio; but these days studios just cost too much to maintain unless you can generate a decent ROI from keeping one in operation. Now all of you equipment can be kept at an Alhambra self storage unit until you need to take it on location. One Stop and You Are On Your Way Every shoot is different. You know exactly what equipment you will need before you head out to your shoot. Is it a family photo shot in their picturesque backyard? You will still need your lights, power packs, flags, and silks to get the lighting to look perfectly natural. A quick stop by your storage unit and you can load up what you need and be ready in no time. This is important because in photography, time is money. You have a wedding to shoot right after this. It’s a good thing you brought your backdrops to take the individual shots of family and friends. And when you are done for the day you can take everything back to your storage unit so you aren’t hauling around for the next two days before your next shoot. Props And More Props Many photographers will use various props in the shots to enhance the mood of the photograph. Keeping your props in your storage unit, organized according to their type and popularity make it easy to have the props you want when you want them. You may have props that make shooting babies more interesting. Of course, when we say shooting babies, we mean cute photos when the baby is dressed in various outfits playing with stuffed animals or other fun items. If you are taking graduation pictures, you can’t beat books for the smart kid or a football for the guy going to college on an athletic scholarship. It really depends on your sense of style and imagination what kind of props you may keep on hand. The more props available the better. After all, every good photograph is collaboration between the photographer and their subject. Keeping Your Business At Work It is nice when you can keep your work at work.
