help with lighting, what light tent and lights to buy

[jimjimll]

hi, can someone offer some advice on which light tent to get which is good at its price? I am looking for a tent large enough so I can take picture of two pairs of size 15 shoes at the same time. Also for the background to be white, what is the best choice? seamless paper? because I would need a big background and hopefully is both the background and the bottom so there won't be a line in between them. help help help!!!

Thanks

Build your own light tent to your own dimensions.

I use white foamboard and cut it to construct a four-sided box. Sometimes I have used this on top of a black velvet bottom, and sometimes I have used this on top of a white foamboard bottom.

I'll set up my camera on one tripod, then have at least two strobes shooting in from different angles.

Hi, what is your recommendation for strokes to buy? also for foamboard as background and bottom, wouldn't that give you a line when you take a picture which makes it somewhat unpleasant to view? What can we do to get rid of that instead of using photoshop?

Thanks
