Abstract
Studio photography is performed indoors, in a managed setting where the photographer has complete control over all the elements that go into creating
a photograph. In studio photography, both placement and colour of the lighting are critical to achieve the desired look. Lighting needs can vary greatly,
depending on the type of camera, the size and the type of subjects. Nowadays, many online sellers often have difficulties in finding suitable locations and
sufficient lighting to shoot on their product for marketing advertising through social media, etc. Moreover, beautiful and engaging pictures are very
important in selling any product to attract customers. Thus, the IoT Mini Studio is proposed as a portable mini studio that is capable for small product
shooting. This IoT Mini Studio uses mobile apps that work as the interface to control lighting brightness, lighting colour and platform rotations. In this light,
RGB LED strip is used as the lighting source in the IoT Mini Studio which can vary the lighting brightness and colours to intensify the mood of the
photographs with minimal editing effort. On the other hand, the platform uses a stepper motor that can rotate 360 degrees rotation with clockwise (CW)
and counter-clockwise (CCW) direction. Furthermore, the products shooting from this IoT Mini Studio has proven to be able to produce photographs that
are professional looking with suitable lighting colours and brightness as well as in producing a smooth 360 degrees angle of video shooting.
