Light box is useful in product photography. Because it distribute light on an object averagely, to produce sufficient light in capturing clear image.

However a branded light box is not cheap. Since I don’t plan to spend on it, I decided to DIY a home made light box! Although there are lots of tutorial on the Internet, I believe this is the EASIEST and CHEAPEST tutorial.

What do you need? An Empty Box,White Paper, Scissors, Blade, Cellophane Tape, Pencil and Ruler.

Mark a rectangular on both side of the box. Cut it off and make sure your papers are big enough to cover the holes.

Cover with White paper to make semi-transparent windows. This is to allow the lights come in and illuminate the object well.

Cover all inside surfaces with the white paper. So that the flash light distribute averagely.

It is time to capture the first image in DIY home made light box. Look at the Nikon cap, not bad huh?

In fact, I didn’t use external light at the semi-transparent windows. Maybe next time can use study lamp to try out better result. Perhaps you have bigger box (CRT monitor) for better effects.
