HOW TO: Take better photos with a $10 light tent
March 12th, 2007 by Monkey
Light boxes are an effective way to take gorgeous photos of small objects. Using a cardboard box and some tissue paper, you can assemble a decent one with only a few minutes of effort. There’s really no reason not to make one!
The beauty of this thing is the lighting control you get. You have the ability to almost completely wrap your subject in high quality light.
it for? That’s pretty much up to you, and will be limited only by the size of the box you use. Shots of small objects in the studio, on location, items you are selling on eBay, flowers (even still in-the-ground-and-growing ones,) Absolute Vodka bottles for $50,000 ad campaigns, catalog stuff - whatever.
