D.I.Y. Lightbox

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.

---

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

---

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

Cover top and 3 sides with white vellum or another white opaque but see through-ish paper- 

---

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
