Photobox for my models - built with test shots

[Mike]

I built this last night. The total cost was $3.00 for a 24x36 piece of Elmers 1/4" foam board from Michaels, and .99 cents for a box of stick pins. Glue didn't hold the foam board well, so I used stick pins in pairs and pointed in an arrow shape towards one another about 1" apart. That held everything tight. I also shot the whole thing with a base coat of white primer to soften things up and take the glare away from the foam board. Lighting is the only thing to practice with now. Let me know what you all think.

Actually Mike that's quite good.

Now try experimenting with colored poster board clipped onto the walls to complement or contrast with the subject being shot.
