The simplest way to Make a Light Box with Paper

By Michael Zhang


There are several paths to make a simple light box at home employing a few materials that are both inexpensive and simple to get together yourself. Pro home studio kits can be pricey.

1: Paper

Knowing how to make alight box with paper is relatively straightforward and easy. 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 consequence, your pictures will appear more professional.

2: Folding

Take two bits of paper and fold them both in half. Assemble them together by attaching one folded half to the folded half the other sheet. This can be done without or with tape. In my setup, I didnt use any tape and the paper provided enough support by itself. Stand the folded sheets up together on a table or desk upright so that there are 3 sides. You could also set in on the floor if that angle is more convenient when you add the light.

3: Backdrop

Your DIY photography studio is just about prepared. Next, take your 3rd bit of paper and attach it to where the folded areas meet on the other 2 sheets. Again, tape application is optional here also. Curve the piece of paper barely so it forms a smooth background for your lightboxes . It might 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 right area. It works best if the light is nearer to the light box so it floods the entire area; nonetheless be happy to experiment. The proximity relies upon the force of the bulb. You need to use a florescent or incandescent light bulbâ€"just do not forget to set the proper white balance in your camera before snapping anything.

5: Photograph object

Finally, the last step is to take some footage Since the surface area is little, you'll need to find smaller objects that may slot in the space. It's an ideal size for things like fruit, coins, stationary, small plants or other small objects for product photography. The DIY light box is quite useful for both hobbyists and photo fans alike.
