Make Your Own Light Tent
I’ve tried hanging up a white sheet and setting up lights and it just doesn’t work. When you want a good product image you really need to use a tent. Now a decent one will run you a couple of hundred plus the lights. So when I decided to try Ebay I decided to try making my own. I remembered reading this tutorial a while back and so here’s what I came up with.
I started with a large box and cut out three sides and the top.
Now the tutorial recommended lining the inside with paper. I wanted something super quick so I chose to use flat spray paint.
Once the paint was dry I cut my white muslin, wrapped it around the top and sides and taped it so the muslin was taut. A large piece of heavy-weight paper fit perfectly as a back drop. I set my lights up on either side and a desk lamp above and voila! A quick and (somewhat) easy light tent.
As you can see, it works pretty good. Good enough for Ebay anyway.
