"how do i setup a photography studio at home using these listed items?"

thanks bundles!!!!

Could you clarify what your question is?

EDIT:

Well, you’ve focused way too much on things that aren’t part of a studio. Hair gel, a brush, accessories, outfits, makeup…that has nothing to do with taking pictures.

The window will let in some light, but a "real" studio usually has other lighting sources available.

Your best bet is to hang the background sheet from a wall or the ceiling. Bring the "models" at least a few feet away from it. That’s about all I can tell you based on what you’ve got.

My photography project is ‘time’… but I cant think of many ideas to do. I have thought about past,present, future and also how things have changed through the decades but I need some ideas that I can actually do. We have a photography studio at college. I have a digital & SLR also photoshop so can do more/less anything… any ideas ? ? ?

There are MANY ideas that you can do with this project.

You can focus on things in different stages of life (budding flower, flower, dead flower OR 3 different people of different ages).

You can do time lapse photography. Where you hold the shutter open for an extend time and move through the frame. That way it will show where you were in the past, in the present and the future as you move.

You could also do multiple exposures in a single image.

You could actually do it with the type of prints you do. For example, simple images taken with a pin hole camera, 35mm black and white, 35mm color, digital, then into a scanner.

You could find a project going on around you (painting a building, construction work, putting up Christmas lights, etc) and photograph them.

It really depends on your time constraints.

You could even do something like fruit/food rotting.

I seen some really cool work done with a pin hole using paper negatives (ISO of 6) which along for long exposures.

Even you are a morning or evening person you could do a set of the sitting or rising sun.

But think about other parts of time. Maybe do something about how much time is pasted in a blink of an eye. What we miss because humans are always in a hurry. The idea of something moving extremely fast that we miss it.

If this is just a basic few week project I would have fun with it. If it is for a larger project go to the teacher with some ideas of what you have and see what they think would be best and more your style that you would enjoy working on it for awhile.

Another idea could be another technique I used a few times. It is based on EXTENDED FRAMES. Meaning you put a roll of film into your 35mm camera. Advance the entire roll without capturing any images and then in a darker room (usually for a play or performance where there is dim lighting) and while keeping the shutter open your manually wind up the film back into the container. This way you will get some action shots and if you want you can place your lens cap over the camera or stop the shutter every few frames and play with it some so you will get a good bracket range for it.

There is a few photographers that I have done things with time and space you may like to look at. Just google them long exposure photography, time as subject photography, and time lapse.

my passion is music and photography. Id like to get into a career doing both. Ive talked to some people at concerts with the press and most of them just kind of fall into it.Is there actually a career doing something like this or is it like a who you know kind of thing?

You need to have a strong portfolio, start with local artist smaller venues ect. so you can build up your portfolio and gain experience. Then present your portfolio to a band manager and hopefully they are impress and in need of some promos.

Good Luck

Why?

Its not at all good.

Lacking contrast.
Not at all sharp.
Probably the same low quality as thousands of other pics taken on AE during the concert.
