 Re: Photo Shoot thread - Post your promo photos
OK Here ya go. First I just want to say go ahead and laugh your a$$ off! I know this is very crude but a pictures worth a thousand words right!? The proofs all there.
You will need:
2 500 watt halogen lights. $12 each @ home depot
1 roll or drawing paper. $5 @ Michaels
A cardboard box. Free from just about anywhere
An exacto knife. $2 at the local hardware store
Masking tape. $1.50 at the local hardware store
So all I did was cut a couple holes in either side of the cardboard box. You want them to be big so that you can get enough light through and lite up the box.
Now just take 2 lengths of paper and tape it over the holes on either side of the box. Tape another length of paper on the inside back of the box for your back drop and VIOLA! Light box is complete
As for setting it up place a light on either side facing in but to the back of the box. Remember these are halogen lights they get really HOT! I only work for maybe 20 -30 minutes and then shut them off.
The second last picture is how I set mine up.
The last picture is all the proof you need that this ugly looking rig works!
Enjoy!
