Inexpensive clamp lights from the hardware store. True light bulbs. Foam board left over from the science fair. Rationalization for a second camera.

Kathy, So cool! Enjoy taking the photos.
How fun! I’ve been thinking of doing something similar …
Nice new setup! And it did well photographing your chevron scarf.
How fun! I use foam board for backgrounds all the time too. My husband has all the studio toys in the world, but I’m always too lazy to set it all up so I just run around looking for the best light.
I tried using light like those but I started sweating like no other. Since I was doing smaller items (jewelry) I built a box myself and use a photo editor to brighten up my shots. If you want to see my home made contraption have a gander here http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/14021199/
I found try all your settings on your camera and figure out which gives the best shot and always turn off your flash (for jewelry shots)
Hey that’s prety cool.
Geez, I should check for spelling before I hit enter!
This looks like a perfect setup. We use those clamp lights too, they work well.
What a great setup. I just might have to try it.
Very professional looking. I end up using either the bed or an ironing bord with mount card on it.
My goodness that looks professional. No wonder your photos are so great.
That’s so great! I’ve been thinking about building a little photo studio too!
So proffesional !
