A Video Tour of Yuri Arcur's Incredible Studio

You may not be familiar with Yuri Arcur's name, but there's a good chance you've seen his images. According to his site, he sells more then 1.1-million individual licenses for his stock photos a year. With output like that, you'd expect him to have an incredible studio and, according to this video, you would definitely be right. The five minute tour is guided by the man himself and encompasses everything from his numerous sets to his lust-worthy gear rack, which contains his Hasselblad H3D-II 39 and a whole pile of lenses many of us have only seen in the B&H catalog.

It's an interesting way to spend five minutes, for sure. But, there's still something to be said for all of the make-shift DIY set-ups out there. Those who can make something great out of their own living room will always have a special place in our collective hearts.
