Poor man's light box, home made. Clamp lights from Home Depot were $5 USD each, not including LED bulbs. Parchment paper covers the bulbs to diffuse light. Base box houses cords and extension cord (with a hole in back for the plug). The structure on top is made with scrap foam core. It is a righ angle with two triangular braces. Scrap fabric is paperclipped in place. This goes in teh closet as is. To set up, just put on the counter, and plug it in.

Thanks, EC. Convincing photos and the shadows are negligible now. |

Makes a real difference. Nice job! |

The earlier photos by you in that link are somewhat dark. The last set are well lit (perfectly lit) and look great. Are the first ones before the light box and the last ones after? Nice contrast if so. |

I also made my own, but I'm not satisfied with the results. I'll have to make a few modifications. |
