Photography can get expensive fast, but I’ve been experimenting with ways to cut costs without compromising on the results. One of my favorite tricks is using natural light instead of investing in expensive studio setups it’s free and often gives a more organic look. I’ve also started buying used gear from reputable sellers, which saves a ton compared to buying new.
Another thing that’s helped is repurposing everyday items as props or modifiers. A white poster board becomes a reflector, and a bedsheet can diffuse harsh light. It’s surprising how much you can do with what’s already around you.
Has anyone else found clever ways to save on photography? I’d love to hear what’s worked for you!
