studio/lightbox

[Daz85]

I was just wondering if there is any guide out there as to making a small lightbox to take studio looking shots for smallish objects?

Thanks

I made my lightbox out of Elmers foam core boards from an arts and crafts store for $1.49 a board. I then bought a roll of heavy duty self adhesive velcro straps. By using velcro I am able to break the lightbox down and rebuild it in like 30 seconds and it is big enough to fit a wedding cake into. I also made the design modular so that it can be arranged into a tall, a wide, and a deep configuration depending on which of the boards I choose.

There are too many results to list, but if you click on the "Search" button, type in "Homemade Lightbox" - and click "GO". You'll get 27 results with load of pics.

Hi Daz85,

Try some of these. I didn't look at them all to see content but these are some partial search results.

There are many more, some better than others but I think you'll find some useful info if you poke around.
