Here we did some actress headshots. They turned out well and the group they were used for were satisfied with them. I wasn’t though. The backdrop just isn’t working for me. Or I should say, it isn’t working with my photography setup flow and that tells me I am in the market for something else. What it is, I do not know yet, but I do know I want something that works with how I do my photography work. Something that flows with it.
That’s how gear upgrades should work. At least, that’s how I advise that they work. You don’t just go out and buy the flashy toys you see advertised on the internet. You figure out what in your photography workflow isn’t jiving with the rest of your set up, what is simply being tolerated, and then try to find something that does that but works within your photography workflow. There are mountains of items that all give similar results in photography, but only a handful work with how you operate in the manner you currently operate and that’s where you need to focus when looking at upgrades.
And as stated, I know when I want to upgrade and what I want to upgrade based on what I’ve been tolerating and just can’t tolerate anymore. Sure, that thing might work great, it might even work perfect, but it might not work perfect for the way I setup my studio or conduct my photo sessions. That’s when I start looking at upgrades. For acting headshots, I need a new backdrop setup and I already have an idea where I want to go next.
