DIY Light Boxes to Take Better Photos when Selling Your Jewelry

Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at 6:28PM

Not only do we we teach jewelry making techniques at NYIAD in the jewelry design course, we also teach students how to photograph their work. Something simple like a DIY light box can make all the difference in taking a great shot of your work. Thanks to a few bloggers willing to share their DIY light box tutorials- learning how to make and use one, does not have to be such a mystery.

You control the amount of light to use by placing lamps around the box. You can even use tissue paper and natural light like Karyn at plussizebangles.

Proper lighting can make the difference in your photo looking like the one on the left, or the one on the right. These were taken during the same time of day, one with regular house lights, the other with a light box. See how they made their light box at backtoherroots.com.

Samet Cicek's DIY light box.

You will need a cardboard box, white paper, lights, tape and either a scissor or x-acto knife to cut out the sides. Samet Cicek shares his step by step tutorial of cutting a frame from a cardboard box.

cheriquitecontrary.blogspot also gives a step by step using a glue gun and three lamps to diffuse the light from all sides. Light that is too bright will wash out the detail and create heavy shadows, which is why you diffuse the light with the white paper. Not enough light will not show detail, and lighting it from all sides eliminates shadows.

Ninth and Bird shares DIY secrets for taking better photos by assembling a home made light box by joining separate pieces of board to form a box.

Hopefully one of these great tutorials inspired you to try making your own light box, so you will be on your way to taking more desirable and professional looking photos.

This is a very clever idea and the concept behind it. It is never easy to create an article and collect the data to provide a good read.

Your step-by-step approach makes it easy to understand and to make it.

What i do not realize is if truth be told how you are no longer really much more well-liked than you might be now. You are so intelligent. You already know thus significantly in the case of this subject, produced me for my part imagine it from numerous various angles. Its like women and men are not involved unless it is something to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs nice. At all times deal with it up!
