Do it Yourself Light box

by Andrew on February 9th, 2008

I bought a brand new Nikon D80 because I’m shooting an entire product line for an on-line shopping cart. I also bought a $70 light box from WalMart and the results were poor so I returned it and built my own light box. The results were dramastically1 better.

It costed around the same amount of money but I didn’t go bargain hunting since I have a-lot work ahead of me. The best part is that the lights are florescent so no hot lights.

Materials:
  • 1.5 meters of cheap white fabric
  • three clip lights
  • three 40 watts florescent light bulbs (2,600 lumens)
  • big plastic rubbermaid container
  • white bristle board

I’m no master of photography but I’m happy with the results.

1 A word I unknowingly fumbled together one day: dramatic + drastic = dramastic
