A great amount of people still think, prefer a picture taken in a studio environment rather than outdoors. Outdoor picture taking can be tricky because of bad lighting, or ambience.

In a floor studio, the light-stands and the background-stands have to be placed on the floor. These are lightweight, and can be moved around easily.
