Using a Canon 600d in a photography studio for a Model Shoot

Is it possible to use a Canon 600D in a photography studio? The answer is a definite yes. There are a few ways to fire the studio flash lights, either with an infra red trigger that sits on the hot shoe, a radio trigger again via the hotshoe of the Canon 600D or using a cable. The Canon 600D does not have a PC socket so you would need an adapter to fit on the hot shoe to convert it to a PC socket. These adapters are readily available for a few pounds at photo shops or online.

These photos were taken on a Canon 600D in our photography studio as a trial of different lenses. You can use any EF or EF-S lenses on the Canon 600D in a photography studio but the distance between subject and camera may be an issue with longer lenses due to the 1.6x crop factor on the Canon 600D.
