Homemade “studio”

Not much time lately to update and write, but I had to make time to write about this. I, as a hobbyist, always look for great ideas and things to make it easier and cheaper to have photography as a hobby. One thing I’ve realized is VERY important is lighting. No light, no shot. I have no budget for professional lighting, so for now I’m using a builders lamp and this has given good results this far.

Catching up on lost time online today, I of course stopped by PhotoCritic.org. Found a link to this article, and that’s really a big help for me. Not that I have much to photograph, but it’ll make my learning process simpler.

Basically it shows how you can build a light-tent using:

  • Duct tape
  • Cardboard box
  • White copier paper
  • Paper towels
  • Scissors/razor
  • Lamp

If you’re into macro photography and/or similar photography, I strongly suggest taking a look at this article.
