If so show us how you went about it and what you ended up with. Thinking of making the conversion and wondered what the pitfalls to avoid might be.

Youre best bet is to ask this question over on TP as theres a few people on there that have done it. from memory your biggest problem will be to control the light spill, depending on what youre shooting ofcourse.

Not exactly a Garage, but a corner of my Fathers factory was turned into a studio for his office seating. Stud walls 7 roof fabricated them plaster boarded, and the whole lot painted deep matt white. Installed a roller system with 4 different colour backdrops, and some pucca studio lights... Its awesome for product (ad the occasional family portrait) photography.

I'll did out a pic of it, and pop it up.

Why would you do this?

I've been buying stuff to use in my spare room for snapping my wife's scarves. I've learned a lot about lighting, but I need to learn a lot more.

Flashes, flash stands, umbrellas, backdrops, tripods, reflectors and reflective surfaces.

I'll take a picture of the setup if you like?
