BrianI Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Here is my attempt at converting a pair of IKEA Skubb Laundry hampers into a photographic light box:Firs of all, a pair of IKEA Skubb laundry hampers:Cut the front and back panel out of one hamper, and the front only from the other: Assemble using clothes pegs, and use white paper for the back drop. Testing the booth: Still a bit of tidying up to do, as well as remove the second layer of material from the other side panel. Rather than use the paper as the back drop, I may try and source some different coloured material (white, grey, and blue) to give me the option of different colour backdrops. I may also try and get some brighter lights for lighting the booth. However not bad for an hours work and two £9 Ikea laundry hampers. Best thing is, remove the clothes pegs, and the hampers fold down for easy storage! Edited August 12, 2016 by BrianI 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 That is a very good idea - thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yes I like this, great idea. A great model can be ruined by rubbish pics and decent pics can elevate a mediocre build to the next level. Photography is where its at... I still just using the kitchen worktop at the moment for my pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianI Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 I must admit I still havent really used the light booth yet, as i'm finding it a bit too wibbly wobbly for my liking. Plus the metal framework at the sides seem to cast shadows... So rather than spend any more time on this, I may just buy a photo studio light box thing with lights, seeing as I have a couple of Am@zon vouchers going spare.....
