In this tutorial I'll be showing you how to make a simple light box. It's not much but it will help the novice take better pictures. I have given one of these to a really good friend who was taking pictures on his kitchen table with no backgrounds at all and his scores climbed about a full point (it helped that the minis he photo'd were his best ones too. )So let's get started;

AlexG 08 July 08		Rating: 10 Excellent article. Really easy to understand and to the point. Good pictures aswell. Will try to find the materials in the UK. Those frames look cool, really sturdy

Roger Bunting 06 July 08		Rating: 10 Very clear and concise instructions. What's more is that your spelling's improved.
.sam. 06 July 08		Rating: 10 brilliant i trying to make one of these so this really helps. thank you liz. one question the lights, do they have to have daylight bulbs or can they be just normal ones ???
