Now I know a lot of you have your own light tent/box solutions (and I'm not saying this is better or worse) but I really like this set up and I'll tell you why.
- First- It's collapsable. For the most part the tent lives on that counter. But the whole thing folds up into a tiny little circle and fits inside it's own storage bag. Whenever I've needed this counter for extra work space I can fold it up and put it away.
- Second- Setting it back up is easy. All you have to do is unfold it.
- Third- It came with lights. One stand has a clip light and an overhead light, the other has a single light. Both are adjustable tripods so I can position the height and angle.
There is one downside- This setup is short on background options. It came with white and black background cloths (which can get wrinkled- also a problem) but sometimes I want color. So when I'm not using white I typically employ an oversized sheet of paper to get color or pattern.
I guess I could always make my own backgrounds out of fabric... but that seems like a bigger than my sewing abilities can handle.
It's also a little big- I considered a smaller version with two table top lights instead of tripods but in the end decided to sacrifice a little space to get a larger tent and more powerful lights. And I'm glad I did- even with this size I sometimes run into things that I can't photograph without getting bits of the tent edges in the background.
So there it is my light tent. I purposefully did not want to make this a commercial for the people who made this (not that there's anything wrong with them- they were great I just didn't want to make this a commercial) so if you're interested in what kind it is (or have any other questions about it) leave a comment or send me an email and I'd be happy to give you a link.

ReplyDeleteThe PVC frame structure is brilliant! It is like building a miniature house just for your products. It reminds me that whether you are building a small light tent or a massive warehouse, the quality of the 'roofing' material (in this case, the fabric) determines the final result. For those needing sturdy materials for actual buildings rather than photo shoots, Cincinnati commercial roofing experts like Apply Rite know exactly what works best to keep a property covered.
ReplyDeleteI love the DIY light tent setup! It is so important to have a controlled environment to get the perfect shot without harsh shadows. Creating the right boundaries and controlling your space really makes all the difference. We do something similar, but on a much larger scale—creating secure boundaries for sites and events. If you're ever managing a large outdoor project or craft fair that needs to be just as controlled as your studio lighting, reaching out to Chicago Fence Rental Companies can help secure your space.
