How to bring the greatest studio to the kitchen table? Take a paper box and some cheap paper from a shop, scissors, glue and any light. Voilà!
Makin a hard light soft and a background plain without edges has never been easier.
The only thing that might be bothering is that some objects will not stand on the soft surface, but there are also easy methods to prevent a figure from falling over.
All in all the tutorial is easy to understand, even for people who don't speak English propperly / at all or don't have any experience in advanced photography.

This deviation was very informative and helpful. The instructions are very clear, each picture taken showed what needed to be done and how to do it, and overall it was very useful. I like how you made it so something as simple as a cardboard box with some translucent paper could make a fantastic background with phenomenal lighting. The final products were magnificent as well. I hope that any aspiring doll photographers look to this tutorial if they wish to know where to get started, for it's also quite easy to follow! Overall, great job on this deviation, and I know that I myself will most definetely use it in the future.

You made it so any one can get profesional like results with useing things most people have around their homes. I give you props for this and almost everyone can do it. It makes me want to even by figures just so I can do this. With having the translucent paper was a good idea and that most people don't come up with it or have a diffrent way of diffuseing the light. But one thing that you don't say is how big the box should be and how big the holes should be. These two things are the only negatives I see. Besides that you did a great job!

Could tracing paper work? Or is there a super-specific type/brand? Great tutorial by the way, I was wondering how to get lighting right when taking pictures! Thanks!

Thanks so much for this. I haven't had chance to think of what I'd use it FOR exactly, but I'm sure it'll be handy soon.
I'm surprised it was this simple too!

This was really helpful, although in a different way.
You see, I have a light tent but I always placed the light sources 'inside' and not outside and since I have some larger ones I've been wondering how to place them without getting too much bright light at the scene.

Yup.
I also have to thank you about the one about creating bokeh for background.

Oh my god. Thank you for posting this. I've just started making clay figures again (itty bitty tiny things) and I've been having a terrible time trying for figure out how to photograph them with enough light. (I haven't really done a lot of anything with cameras, so I'm kind of new at that.) This is something I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of.

What card box size should I use? I don't want ending up using a smaller or a bigger box.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you should use a box that is bigger than the figure you want to shoot
