photo box

There might come a time when it is a cloudy day, and you need to get pictures taken. Or maybe you are not free to photograph during the day, and need to get good pictures at night after the kids are in bed. A tabletop photo "studio" is something to consider.

Professional set ups can cost into the thousands. Average price for photo studio and lamps? $800. There are alternatives though, and if you can do simple edits in your software, then consider this setup: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8144811

My Walmart store sells something a bit different, and it costs approximately $45. I couldn't find it on their website, but that link is close enough. It comes with the lights, mini-tripod, and two back drops. And it is easily tucked away when not in use.

Or... Feeling crafty and thrifty? Make it yourself! Here is an excellent example: http://www.strobist.blogspot.com

Have fun and happy picture taking!
