Tips from Anne on how to utilize small studio spaces
to your advantage:
Minimize your possessions. Attach wheels to your furniture to
make moving easier. (You can buy wheels at Ikea which are easy
to screw onto furniture.) Use small book shelves to store you gear
in boxes. Store bigger gear such as tripods, softboxes and light
stands in boxes under your bed. Use a curtain rail for your paper
back drops—she has two hanging above each other: one white
and one grey.
