I built the perfect photography set up with these Cyber Monday deals
Shooting from home is possible too.
Sometimes, photographers like me don't want to leave the house but still have the desire to get creative, and I think I may have found the perfect way to shoot from home while avoiding the outdoors (and other people) on a typical rainy Sunday.
I made some purchases this weekend that have taken my at-home photography set up to a new level, with Cyber Monday savings that allowed me to justify these impulse buys. I already own the Sony A7III mirrorless camera, which is one of the best cameras for streaming, but I was missing a plain backdrop, mini tripod, and light source to bring my ideas to life.
Below I'm going to share with you the photography deals that won me over this Black Friday/Cyber Monday and why I think you might like them too, whether you shoot with one of the best cameras or one of the best camera phones.
