My lightbox

I don't use any lighting systems at all except for the occasional need for my camera flash in very low light situations. For my tabletop creations during the day, I use a table and my lightbox placed near a window to capture maximum lighting conditions. When using the light box, if I need extra lighting, in most cases one torch will suffice. During night time photography with the lightbox again only a torch and perhaps a reading light lamp will do the job okay. I find the camera flash gives very harsh lighting in lightbox creations.
My 'studio light box' is just a old portable picnic icebox. It's ideal for tabletop work and quite portable. Easy to move around on the kitchen table to get the right lighting from the windows. The placing of colored papers to line the box completes my set up.
Most of the time I don't even use a tripod.
