Here's some of my best tips.
Welcome to (half of) the new #MyFirstMillion studio!
Built this for @ShaanVP this week

💡 Instead, use lighting to *create* depth, not remove it.
Best way to do this?
Move lights to your 1-2 o’clock position.
👉 Bonus: raise your lights higher for a softer, more flattering feel.
I call this the "shampoo commercial" look 😁
1️⃣ Camera Angle
When your camera looks down at you, it destroys your credibility.
You put your audience in the role of your superior peering over your cubicle.
💡 Side Note - A common question we get:
Q: “My space is tiny, can I still set up a nice studio?”
A: “Absolutely. You can totally do it w camera lens magic, design & space-saving gear options.”
I once set up a studio in a tiny closet to prove it 😜
We build studios for clients virtually over Zoom
