Which gear does Scott Kivowitz recommend for optimizing small photo studio spaces?

I recommend using C-stands as a must-have piece of gear for optimizing small photo studio spaces.

They let you stack, boom, and layer modifiers vertically, so you can keep light stands and gear off the floor and closer to walls. That flexibility is huge in a tight home studio and helps you get more lighting looks out of less physical space.

Are you working with a home studio or a dedicated rented space?
