There are a few methods to make an easy light box at home employing a few materials that are both cheap and simple to draw together yourself. Professional home studio kits can be pricey.

1: Paper

Knowing how to make alight box with paper is relatively simple and simple. 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 will flood your photograph area with the most light. As a result, your pictures will appear more pro.

2: Folding

Take 2 sheets 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 without or with tape. In my set up, I didnt use any tape and the paper provided enough support on its own. 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: Backdrop

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

4: Light

With your mini studio assembled, now all that you need is to set-up your light in the appropriate area. It works best if the light is closer to the light box so it floods the whole area; nonetheless feel free to experiment. The vicinity depends on the force of the bulb. You can use a florescent or incandescent light bulbâ€"just do not forget to set the right white balance in your camera before snapping anything.

5: Image object

Ultimately, the last step is to take some footage Since the surface area is little, you're going to need to find smaller objects which will fit in the space. It's an ideal size for stuff like fruit, coins, stationary, small plants or other little objects for product photography. The DIY light box is quite useful for both hobbyists and photograph enthusiasts alike.
