Do-it-Yourself Photography StudioPhotography equipment is expensive, I think everyone knows that. Basically with any bit of equipment you could usually buy a good point-and-shoot camera. And same goes with the studio gear. If you're planning to make a home studio with "official" gear you could easily end up spending several thousand dollars. But on the other hand, you can easily get started with far less expensive setup if you're willing to use gear that is not meant for photography.
This article gives you few examples what you could actually use as studio gear, how to use them, and if necessary, how to build them. I will share you my experiences on how different things have worked for me. These aren't only options, just some examples. With some creativity you can probably think of better gear for some specific jobsm than I have. Just remember one princible: there are no style points given for the setups. If it's outside the frame, it doesn't matter how DiY it looks as long as it gets the job done.

Goodbye Street GalleryIn few days, a whole year will have passed since the day I took over dA's Street Gallery as Street Community Volunteer.
A neglected gallery, full of misplaced images, but also with many worthy submissions.
I visited this galllery everyday, cleaning it (the 24h and 1month popular pages) and informing the photographers of the misplaced images (every single one of them), what Street is all about.
At the same time, 3 days per week, I featured a worthy image as a Street Daily Deviation, taking in account your suggestions as well. The featured images were not necessarily the "best" of the featured deviants. My intention was not to feature "bests" but to draw the community's attention, to active Street photographers, both experienced and new to the genre, in order to boost their dedication to Street. I am content because a lot of times I succeeded.
During this year, a lot of people helped me with their suggestions and with working in Groups, promoting the genre and de

Street Photography Tutorial - IPART II
The series of 5 articles about Street Photography made by ^myraincheck and slightly edited by moi* continues with:
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY TUTORIAL - PART ONE
THE HUMAN SUBJECT
(article from photo4u.it - il portale italiano della fotografia translated and adapted to dA by ^myraincheck)
Let's close our eyes and imagine going out in the streets and looking for unusual things. What do we expect to find? People, first of all.
That's good, the HUMAN PRESENCE is a fundamental element of street photography.
If we want to use only this ingredient, we'll be able to realize a true street photo only if the person we capture will have something unusual or interesting or is doing something unusual or interesting. Otherwise we'll have a good portrait, an enviromental portrait, a wide portrait whatever, but not a street photo.

The Essence of "Street"PART V
The series of 5 articles about Street Photography made by ^myraincheck and slightly edited by moi* ends with:
WHAT IS STREET PHOTOGRAPHY?
Trying to define a genre of photography like Street, it implies the consciousness that one definition will never be enough, or exhaustive, or able to cover the molteplicity of its possibilities and situations. Nevertheless let's try to comprehend the philosophy behind the passion for street photography.
Let's start stating that a street photo is not a photography of streets and it is not necessarily a photo taken in a street. So what does 'street' mean? Street is whatever background or surrounding, not staged, not posed by the photgrapher. And street is whatever photography which captures, explores humanity, the human behaviour, the relationships between individuals and between individuals and their surroundings.
"The essence of street photography is the impulse to take candid pictures in the
