Instructions

    go to your local hardware store and buy some tungsen lights. also know as work lights. These can be expensive. So you can improvise by using tungsen light bulbs.

  2. Small 14234

    you might also wish to get an hot shoe flash, for lighting a whole area.

  3. Small 14235

    to create soft light. YES. there are TWO forms of LIGHT. HARD and SOFT light. You may wish to use soft light to create a romantic image. you need a soft box. grab that old cardboard box. Cut out one side. tape rice or tissue paper over it and tada soft box. now place it over the light source(ie. as in the picture)

  4. Small 14236

    product display with soft light. This idea creates soft light and a seemless background. Take a cardboard box, cut out three sides. place rice paper over the three sides and tape them down. take the bristol board, trim it down and tape it to the inside. now you have a background to shoot your products on.
