Allow the following 9 shed photography studios to inspire you to keep moving toward your dream of photo studio shed ownership!

#1. Kamia McWilliams

Kamia McWilliams converted a dingy shed into a gorgeous, well-lit shed photography studio.

After hearing about other photographers who created studios out of she sheds, Kamia was sold on the idea. After painting the interior of the shed and laying the flooring, she hired an electrician to set up the lighting.

Additionally, Kamia hired someone to finish out the ceiling and walls. By using an AC in the heat and a heater in the cold, Kamia’s studio stays at comfortable temperatures. Most of the investment was in the shed itself, but she also invested in flooring, temperature control units, décor, etc. However, the overall price cost for her shed photography studio was fairly affordable.

#4. Annalise Photography

If you are a dog lover and/or love photographing canines, Annalise’s shed photography studio is going to melt and inspire your heart!

Anne specializes in capturing dogs of kinds and in all kinds of poses. Originally, Anne had been renting a larger studio, but then wished to downsize and focus more exclusively on photographing dogs.

With this goal in mind, Anne began to search for studio alternatives that could be on her property. Renovating her garage was not an option and after reaching out to some photographer friends and hearing their recommendations, she began to investigate a shed photography studio.

In the end, Anne invested in a garden studio, and she has never looked back!
