Studio and Gear

Traumantic Studios is a part of my home. I have converted my garage to a working space that allows me to pursue my passion for photography.

I prefer to use my home because it keeps my costs down and allows me the freedom to work at my craft any time I choose without a lot of effort.

While I know some people look at photographers with home studios with a skeptical eye, my studio is run in a professional manner. I work to ensure the comfort of my guests and a clean and easy to work in space. Some of the features of my studio are:
  • A small guest house that serves as our model prep area which includes:
    • Full bathroom.
    • Refrigerator stocked with water and sodas.
    • Television with DirectTV.
    • Computer access and wireless access.
    • Full makeup area coming soon!
  • An xx square foot garage that serves as my studio space, featuring the following:
    • Quick change backdrop system.
    • Multiple light setups.
    • Computer access and wireless access.
    • Preview monitor so the model can see the shots as we work.
    • Coming soon - an infinite cyclorama.

For larger projects I will rent local spaces for shooting and everything in my studio is mobile. I can work on location just as easily as I can work in my studio.
