    Photography Light Box Suggestions?

    My wife is looking to get a light box for photography- also said I can use it to improve my crappy watch photos! Harsh but true.

    Any suggestions?

    There is a lot of choice out there for every budget - I ended up buying this on Amazon for around £45. LINK
    My main use is taking photos of watches / small items.
    I've been very pleased with it, excellent value for money.

    I use one like this but it was a lot cheaper than than this one. Prices vary a lot.

    Depends a lot on what size objects it's for as well. I use it to shine the light through it to diffuse it, seems to work.

    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I have this one and I can recommend. Good value. Dimmable light and different coloured background cards.

    A cheap tip I was given for taking watch pictures was.

    Take a piece of white card. Punch a hole in it. Place hole over the lens of your IPad and affix using sellotape. Fold down edges of the card to cover object as much as possible. Place object under a light and play about trying not to get a lens reflection or to much shadow. It’s actually quite effective.
