When should you consider doing a DIY project vs just "buying the thing"? We discuss what we would, or wouldn't DIY, like storage solutions, computer gear, light riggings, and audio treatments.

TLDW: Sometimes, the thing doesn't exist or needs to be incredibly specific to a need. Maybe you have more time than money. DIY!

If a good quality thing DOES exist, and you have more money than time, stop and just buy the thing!

Alongside social media we have seen a dramatic increase in "My Name Photography" pages, as it is by far the default naming convention for new photography businesses. But is this the right way to go?
