Not exactly a Garage, but a corner of my Fathers factory was turned into a studio for his office seating. Stud walls 7 roof fabricated them plaster boarded, and the whole lot painted deep matt white. Installed a roller system with 4 different colour backdrops, and some pucca studio lights... Its awesome for product (ad the occasional family portrait) photography.

I've been buying stuff to use in my spare room for snapping my wife's scarves. I've learned a lot about lighting, but I need to learn a lot more.
Flashes, flash stands, umbrellas, backdrops, tripods, reflectors and reflective surfaces.
I'll take a picture of the setup if you like?
