So a couple of weeks ago I've had in mind to do some product photography. Need to be really honest, never tried it and it becomes more and more popular. But how to start when all my equipment was always set for what I love most - fashion photography? Not even the basic stuff, like a small studio? Well I bet someone already thought of it, of how to do the cheaper DIY, and a simple search proved me right.
Here we go, step by step, images taken with my iPhone and added a bit of a touch with PS Express.

5. Add a normal sheet of paper just to make sure you have a solid background and then add the laminating sheet if you feel the need for a reflection:
6. Final image of my setup:
How easy was this, right? And it all was with less than a tenner. Final image?
- one small(ish) to medium box. I got mine from Poundland, just asked a lovely sales assistant if she's throwing away the piles of cardboard in which the products come. She said yes, and then she said I can take one for my creative purposes. So thank you!
- now you need some tissues, preferably with no pattern on them, scissors, tape and a ruler.
And some laminating sheets from Poundland. Now you need to remember I've done this on a budget, trying to see how cheap it can be for a DIY light tent.
- you need to measure the size of the sides of the box so that gaps will be equal, and then you need to cut into 3 sides of it to start adding the tissues.
