Title: Light Boxes
Post by: BethyVic on February 07, 2021, 04:59:34 PM

I wasn’t sure where to put this topic: I am interested in light boxes.  I know some of you use them to take pictures of customs or ponies for sale.  What kind do you use? Do you like it?

I've had two. My first one was smaller and my second one is much larger, it's probably the first or second result on Amazon. I like it a lot, makes my sales photos really nice.

I had one years ago that I made out of a cardboard box, tin foil, and white scrapbook paper. It wasn't even good quality but it helped a ton with my photos! I'd like to get a new one and when I do, I'm going to make sure its collapsible because the box took up a huge amount of space.

We have a collapsable one but I don't really care to use it. I preferred taking it on a seamless background.

The secret to good photography is always light. Proper diffused light is what makes a difference. That's what a lightbox helps out with.

Does anyone have a favorite brand?
