    Maybe its the light bulb, not sure but it doesn’t really matter because you
    can fix that on camera. If you have a DSLR then you can probably set a
    custom white balance. Then the whites should actually look white instead of
    yellow.

    Wow, thanks for doing that, seems like it was a lot of work. I wanted to
    ask you where you put the lamp? and how many watts that lamp was? How many
    watts do u recommend for jewelry? Thanks in advance

    What if the light reflects steel products?

    I have seen these made using tissue paper instead of tshirts.Aside from the
    issue of tissue paper tearing and tshirts being tear proof is there a
    difference?Also can you replace white poster background with other colors?

    I’m glad this vid helps. I took a look at your Etsy store and the photos
    are not bad at all. Best of luck to you.

    Absolutely, that’s the beauty of this light box. You can use any color
    background since it’s just a matter of changing the paper. If you can get
    the shower curtain to hold up, go for it.

    Interesting idea home studio, I have only one recommendation as a
    photographer: Check that there are no shadows of the product. In this case
    the image 2 (the gel), another light lateral offset places the product or
    otherwise. But overall it’s a good job. I congratulate you.

    so, you put the light on the side covered with the shirts, so the light
    goes through, isn’t it? (I’d like to do it and want to be sure I understood
    everything ^^)

    Excellent tutorial ! Thank you so much 🙂 I’ve put the light on the top of
    the box, but i get a light reflection on the top of the product… Do you
    have any tips to correct that ?
