The Mother Of All Light Tents

The Mother Of All Light TentsLight tent, or Light box is a piece of lighting gear used mostly for product shots. It creates a nice, smooth, safe light with almost no hot spots. 

We've posted a tutorial for a really simple light box before. This light box was made of a simple cardboard box and was super easy to construct and really dispensable.

Reader Randi Scott constructed a PVC light box skeleton that is both sturdy and, not  dispensable, but can be stowed away so your significant other will not complain. Read all about it and learn how to make one yourself on this link.

Hey, that looks really cool! :)

Nice light tent

I like that a lot, it seems much sturdier than the other tent. Plus, you could potentially put a little work in and make it pretty spiffy looking. I have an urge to do a little abstract work with one of these, and this looks like it could be fun to construct. Thanks a bunch

Hi Kumar,

I spoke with the author and sadly the original tut was destroyed in a server crash. There is a simplified version of the tut still available on flickr here.
