DIY lightbox
Katie from Twinkle Boo has a really neat trick she shared after the Backgrounds and Backdrops blog post …
I really struggled to get a great picture when I first started taking them. Then I discovered to my surprise that the bathroom is the brightest place in my house, without having to deal with the elements!
Finally I had found a nice light place in my house but I was getting super frustrated with using cardboard and fabric for my backdrop….crinkles never mattered so much before in my life!
On a whim I grabbed a little kids desk we had yet to put together, it was white, I needed a white crinkle free background and something small for the space I was working in…. It worked like a charm.
I remembered seeing diy light boxes and wondered if I used the sides of the desk to reflect my light onto the product and take away some shadows that would help me even more. These are the sides that I use.
Sometimes I don’t need to use both of them and sometimes I need more so I use a little whiteboard
It worked a treat and is now the first thing I grab when doing product photos.
Thanks so much for sharing your fab tip Katie! Your Azure Dress is stunning!!!
