almost any type of lamp will do, fluorescent or regular tungsten if you have a camera that allows you to set a manual white balance (most do) before you start taking pictures.

I am still shaking from having to make my own tent in school. We had to make it out of seamless paper. What a pain! I do wish I had your handy instructions then. The ikea instructions are definitely worth trying if you want something bigger.

[...] So, after making this cheapo paper light tent i wanted something bigger. This lightbox has lots of space and folds neatly after use. [...]

Cool beans!

I have a sort of “high end” (uh, cardboard) version of this on my site at

http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html

But the construction method is not nearly as important as how you *use* it. You can do so much with these things. I got a letter two days ago from a guy who used one to do 50 catalog shots of bottles using one!

There’s a walk-through of a two-light, high-tech-looking shot of a digital camera here

for those interested in using a second light to light the background with no spill onto the subject.

Also, IKEA sells a folding hamper that makes a cool light tent, too. But I do not have a link on me.

Whatever you do, don’t waste $100 on the commercial version of these things.

Light on!
