Transforming a small living space into a high-quality video studio might seem challenging, but it’s entirely possible with a few clever tricks and tools. Here's how Agnes transformed her compact apartment into a professional YouTube setup using minimal resources and a bit of ingenuity.

How to create a studio-like setup in any space

1. Utilize natural light: Agnes capitalized on the natural light available in her apartment. By positioning herself in front of a window, she made the most of the daylight, which provided adequate lighting for her video. For those who need additional lighting, a ring light or similar can be used to supplement, but the key is to manage any other light sources to avoid unwanted shadows.

2. Optimize camera placement: A tripod is essential for stabilizing the camera, and Agnes used a tripod for her iPhone to ensure a steady shot. The iPhone’s camera was central to her setup, enabling her to capture clear and professional-looking footage without the need for additional equipment.

3. Enhance audio quality: Although Agnes didn’t use an external microphone in this instance, it's recommended for better audio quality. If you have one, place it close to the subject to capture clear sound and reduce background noise.
