Cheap.

The white paper backdrop was so dirty. We couldn’t use half of our video and reels because we couldn’t erase the dirt in the background. It was an eye sore

I liked how there was multiple backdrop colours and the lighting was accessible

The room is a bit untidy

The different backgrounds, the studio space

One of the lights with the bulb was broken, and the chain for the white backdrop was also broken; I had to put the white backdrop back in place by hand. The fan should be cleaned or replaced with a new one; it is very heavy to move during the photoshoot. And there is no lights at all in the room, only using the one for the photoshoot
