The essentials
These are my most used items for my self tapes. This set up is compact so can be packed and taken anywhere!
This light is so versatile and clips onto anything. I usually clip it onto my laptop during acting classes & clip it onto my tripod when taping
Pink Portable LED Selfie Light
I use this tripod all the time! It’s the extended height so can use it when standing up too. These lights are a great alternative if wanting ease or to pack them more compact
Multi-Functional Selfie Stick and Retractable Phone Tripod with Dual Beauty Fill Lights, Bluetooth Remote Control Selfie Stand for Live Streaming, Vlogging and Photography, Phone Accessories Compatible - TikTok Shop
These fold down so can easily be transported - they pop up and down so I think setting up to tape is so simple!

My favourite set up!
This is my favourite set up - I’ll use these when I have more time or it’s for a really important audition
I love this backdrop if I’m filming at home / have longer to set up. As it’s on a roll, you avoid creases and the colour looks great on camera!
Kate Neutral Grey Seamless Paper Backdrop for Photography
These pegs are an essential! Firstly they stop backdrop rolls from unravelling. Secondly, if using a material backdrop, I use them to clip my backdrop to my wardrobe 🙌🏼
10pc Photo Photography Background Clips Holder Backdrop Pegs
I use this backdrop stand when I use a backdrop roll - it’s quick to set up and I store it under my bed when not in use
Kate Light-duty 6.5x10ft-10x8.5ft Black Aluminum Backdrop Stand (3cm Thick)
These reflectors have so many different colour choices. If I tape with natural light, I’ll use one of these so the lighting is more even and as bright as possible 🙌🏼
NEEWER 22" 5-in-1 Light Reflector with Clamp
This reflector clamp makes it so easy to angle your reflector. But if you’re in a budget you can prop it up instead!
Reflector Grip Clamp
I love this colour backdrop. It’s so easy to put up and to store but does crease easily!
Kate Foggy Blue Abstract Texture Backdrops For Portrait Photography
I love soft boxes, they give such flattering lighting but do take longer to set up & put away so I’ll only use them if I have the time 🤩
