MY STUDIO

Welcome to my studio catalogue. I have created an easy to access list of my favourite, most used items in my studio. The links to where you can buy them are part of each image, so simply click on the item you want more information on, and you will be directed to where I bought it from.

I have separated my gear into categories. Simply click on the category, or scroll down. If you would like me to add anything to this catalogue that you have seen in my social media posts, please let me know.

Studio Equipment

These are my larger studio items that are an integral part of my studio organisation and functionality.

Mabef Deluxe Studio Easel

I have used this easel for over 5 years and never had any issues with it. It converts to a table too, and is heavy duty.

Matrix Sit Stand Stool Black

This stool is not the most comfortable, however, it allows a lot of movement and can extend very high to support me at a standing level.

Gooseneck iPad Floor Stand

I love my new iPad stand. It has a heavy base so it doesn't wobble and is easy to adjust into any position.

ALEX Drawer unit on castors, white, 67x66 cm

I used four of these to form the base of my studio bench. The drawers are fairly good. I haven't had any issues with these cabinets yet.

ALEX Drawer unit, white, 36x70 cm

I use two of these in my studio around my easel to store my working paints and mediums. They are compact and can store a surprising amount of stuff!

Besta Storage Combination with doors

This has been a handy storage system. I got the press release doors because I store toxic chemicals in there and I didn't want my kids opening the doors. They still haven't figured out how to open it.

SKÅDIS Pegboard combination, white, 76x56 cm

I use this storage system the most. Keeps all my most frequently used tools on hand but also organised. Highly recommend it.

Camera Gear

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Digital Camera

I chose this camera based on advice given to me by my uncle who is a photographer. I wanted a camera that could do both filming and photography at a very high level. This ticked all the boxes for me.

Sigma 50mm Art Lens for Canon

My most favourite lens. Any fixed focal length lens will give you the soft focus effect. Choose one that works for the size of the space you have. This is the maximum focal strength I would use in my studio.

RØDE Microphones Wireless GO II

Really happy with this lapel mic. Easy to use, and great sound when I get the settings on the camera right.

Blue Yeti USB Microphones

Great sound quality. I use this for all my voice overs on video tutorials.

Manfrotto MK290DUA3-3WUS 290 Dual 3-Way Head Kit

I've found this to be a really great brand to use for camera gear. Durable and steady.

Neewer Camera Slider Motorized

This is a neat item to use. I recommend using stabilising arms as the weight of the camera can cause the rail to dip when it gets too far away from the centre of the rail.

KEAYISOFINE Teleprompter

I use the teleprompter for all of my footage where I need to say a lot to the camera. It holds my phone, and I use an app called Prompt Smart Pro to display the text on the screen. It only allows landscape filming though.

Studio Lighting

MSKIRA Soft box Lighting Kit

There are so many soft box lights available. I chose these when I was working in a rather small area. I bought globes in addition, because I wanted a specific temperature and lumen. Which ever soft box light you use will be better than a direct spotlight on your work for both your vision and footage.

Pixapro Wall Mounted Studio Lighting Scissor Boom Arm

Hands down, the best thing I have added to my lighting gear. Getting tripods off the ground is important for me, because I walk into everything. This boom is heavy duty and steady.

Handheld Light Wand, RGB LED Video Light

These are super fun, but also help to add a dynamic element to the footage. An essential part of a videographers tool kit I think.

Oil Paints

Why I use Miameri Puro Oil paints. Traditionally, oil paint is very thick, and I found myself constantly adding medium to make the paint more workable. Maimeri Puro are a pure pigment paint, with highest standard of lightfast quality, and are not extremely thick to work with. This means I use less medium - often non at all - and am able to paint without much fuss. A great paint to use. I highly recommend it. Here is a collection of my most commonly used colours. To find more colours please click on the swatches (individual colour links arnt working fo some reason sorry), but for more information on the brand, please click on the enlarged paint tube.
