Homemade Product Photography Setup

An inexpensive way to create your own photography studio for the classroom. I used this for product photography with my students. There is also a great YouTube video from prophotolife that I discovered that walks you through the process of setting up the homemade studio. I used this video to introduce the lesson because he uses great vocabulary and it is easy to follow and see the effects that lighting can have on an object.

Materials:

  • 2 Pan lights with high watt bulbs
  • Diffuser made from white sheet, acetate, or similar material hot glued to a frame
  • Piece of white foam core or anything white and glossy to reflect light
  • White Backdrop: white sheet, large piece of white matte board

The Setup:
