Anyway, this week I'll be showing you Flickr member Zepofan's awesome use o f a Jäll laundry hamper as cheap, portable, multipurpose macro studio.
If you're a Strobist aficionado like myself, you know all about David Hobby's $10 macro studio in a box. Well, other than being used as a macro studio, its not that useful for much else, however this can still be used as a laundry hamper when not giving great soft light for small to medium objects, and this lil' guy is only $3.99. Nice find Zepofan.
Its pretty straight forward, so I'll just show it to you.
Step 1. Tip Jäll on its sideStep 2. attach white paper to the top at the back, allow enough length for a nice sweep
Step 3. Setup lights. Ideally, for the seemless look, you'll want 3 lights o f equal intensity: 1 right, 1 left, 1 shooting down from the top. If you're a baller then throw a 4th light in shooting in through the back.
You can check out the excellent results on Zepofan's Flickr account.
