Strobist-Inspired Light Box

How to: DIY $10 Macro Photo Studio [Strobist]

 

We've desperately needed a little photo studio light box for the office for a while now. I finally broke down and got the crap to make one. I bought a box at Container Store, 24-inch cube. It's probably a little too big for what we need. I may have to get a smaller box, maybe 18-inch cube. But we now have all the material to make light boxes, so that wouldn't be a bother.

 

Strobist says you can make it for $10, but I'd say that's if you have all the crap lying around the house (and live outside Manhattan). I ended up paying about $9 for the box, $13 for the tracing paper, and $5 for the tape.
