D.I.Y. Lightbox

5/27/2018

0 Comments

 
My photos have been coming out truly sad... washed out... can't see detail.
Grey Girl Graphics (company that built this site) showed me how to make my own Photo Lightbox.
I made this one- learned some things and will make another=Larger with White Tape instead of Black.
​All in All though it came out pretty good I think.

Picture
Cut out all four sides- leaving an edge of an inch or more (mine are about 2"- cut top off

Picture
Not a necessary step but I covered entire box in duct tape to make it stronger- Next box I use a lighter color instead of black though
Picture
Cover top and 3 sides with white vellum or another white opaque but see through-ish paper- 

Picture
Place your items inside- shine a light from above or behind or from the side or all of that... to get a good diffused light instead of a bright flash that washes it all out

Step by Step of Dear Darling Dudley.
I took a gazillion photos to get a decent one I could use... he was such a sweet dog. 
I was gonna leave off the slobbery brown bits around his mouth but owner Jim said "Leave it in. That's Dudley."
So I did.
This is literally the second pet portrait I've ever done.
The first was of my own Sweet Squirt. I was unhappy with it. And too depressed as I drew it.
She passed. VERY hard to handle.
I started the portrait years later. But couldn't deal.
It's been 8/9 years now. 
I may try again... we shall see.
