There are several ways to make a straightforward light box at home employing a few materials that are both cheap and easy to get together yourself. Professional studio kits can be expensive.

1: Paper

Understanding how to make alight box with paper is relatively easy and easy. To start, you'll need 3 sheets of white A4 paper. White works best since it reflects the light better than other colours and it'll flood your photo area with the most light. As a consequence, your photos will appear more pro.

2: Folding

Take two bits of paper and fold them both in half. Assemble them together by attaching one folded half to the folded half of the other sheet. This is often done with or without tape. In my setup, I didnt use any tape and the paper provided enough support by itself. Stand the folded sheets up together on a table or desk upright so that there are 3 sides. You may also set in on the floor if that angle is more handy when you add the light.

3: Background

Your DIY photography studio is almost ready. Next, take your 3rd piece of paper and attach it to where the folded areas meet on the other 2 sheets. Again, tape application is optional here as well. Curve the bit of paper slightly in order that it forms a seamless background for your lightboxes . It might take some adjusting, but the result should look like the picture below.

4: Light

With your mini studio assembled, now all you need is to set-up your light in the appropriate area. It works best if the light is nearer to the light box so that it floods the entire area; nevertheless be at liberty to experiment. The vicinity depends on the force of the bulb. You can use a florescent or incandescent light bulbâ€"just don't forget to set the right white balance in your camera before snapping anything.

5: Photograph object

Ultimately, the ultimate step is to take some photographs Since the surface area is little, you're going to need to find smaller objects that may fit in the space. It's an ideal size for things like fruit, coins, stationary, small plants or other small objects for product photography. The DIY light box is quite handy for both hobbyists and photo fans alike.
