My DIY photo light booth has been completed. It is not perfect, but everything seems to be functional at least. The main components are some cheap desk lamps with empty vinegar bottles acting as diffusers. They are held together by wire coat hangers. The current backgrounds are colored sheets purchased at a craft store.


The first use was to photograph a couple of paper models I recently assembled. They are both from a new website I found called cubeecraft. Both of these models are themed around recent Nine Inch Nails albums. I managed to crush them with a blanket and pillows shortly after their completion. Luckily they are still in fairly good shape.

Their creator uses tabs and slots to avoid a need for glue. It is a method I have not seen in other paper models. While I appreciate the simplicity this construction offers, I am not sure which I prefer yet. Luckily there are plenty more models to try out!
