Peter Cripps Photography

During these wet and cold winter months getting down to some serious photography projects outdoors can be a bit of a challenge. One good way of keeping up with your photography during this time is to try making some indoor still life images. Here’s a simple still life studio setup I have (in my garage).

This setup consists of:

• Background – Lastolite Plain Collapsible 1.5 x 1.8m Black Velvet.
• Bench – Disused IKEA television stand (with some handy storage underneath).
• Bench cover – Piece of blackout curtain (from John Lewis).
• Lighting – Cactus lighting plus brollies etc from my portable lighting kit.
• Camera – Olympus OM-D E-M1 with M.Zuiko f/2.8 60mm Macro Lens
• Tripod – Three Legged Thing Tim Evolution 2.

Finally a few initial images taken with this setup.
