[Photography] How to build a light box

There's an amateur (but impressive) photographer from here in St Louis who has written a tutorial on how to build a light box, specifying everything from materials to lightbulbs. It might be of interest to anyone wanting to kick up their photographs ...

Awesome! I always wondered how they got the shots with the white background. Will be trying this soon.

I've been doing a rather simplified version of a light box by using a piece of posterboard:

Tape the posterboard to the wall (or some other tall object) and let it curve down to become a surface on a table.

I wait for a cloudy day and shoot outside or in bright sunlight and use other pieces of white posterboard to bounce fill light.

I'll try to track it down but I saw a really nice article about making a teeny but highly portable lightbox using a maglite

Thank you for the mention :-)

The previous commenter had a good suggestion. It's good to use a piece of posterboard in the back of this box and let it curve down.

Good stuff!

If you buy louis vuitton handbags ,
you can expect to have replica louis vuitton bags
around for the next ten years at least. Isn't that worth something? You may be wondering, what if it goes out of fashion? Well,
louis vuitton replica bags are not fad bags. They are made to be stylish and chic
and stand the test of changing fashion. So don't worry, you can change your wardrobe but your cheap
louis vuitton purses
will faithfully stand by your side.
