My 5$ photo studio

[boosted4lyf]

The old lady is into the arts and crafts thing, and I stole her stuff to make this.

Here's what ya need:

4x foam project board from The Dollar Store measures 20"x36"
1x roll of packing tape
And some wooden toothpicks( if you don't have these at home then it will be a 6$ photobox

Basically ya take two of the foam sheets overlap them to make a corner like so...( L ) take wooden toothpicks , break in half and carefully skewer them through one board and into the next. Does this to make 3 walls and a floor. I then used the packIng tape the reinforce the joints on the backside of the box. I will get some pics of the build up.

This takes pictures from this:


To this:



Pic was taken with iPhone but with a good camera and some decent lighting these pics will look great

Nice/cheap idea.

I have a 6' x 6' piece of white paper (off a large roll), I drape it on a table and whatever I can find. This is my backdrop.

Fills the same purpose, different ways to cover the same end result.

So basically... you're telling me that this will turn my stock chassis into one that has a topper?

I'm sold!


But for real, this looks great! I'll be swinging by the dollar store for sure!

Nice, try bumping your exposure up a stop or so and that should get rid of the dark box in the top right corner of the image.
