If i am making a DIY softbox, using a cardboard box, what would you line the inside of the cardboard box with? Foil? White paper? Nothing?
What would you use to cover the front of the open end of the box? Parchment paper?

Line the inside with foil...

A cheap, white bed sheet, cut to size will be fine for a front diffuser. Or hit a local fabric store and dig through their remnants section...try to find a thin, light fabric that you cant see through but still lets a lot of light through.


Nobody cares about your gear list...
