A $50 Lighting Setup for Product Photography

in photography •  8 years ago 

Looking to do product photography on a budget? The lighting setup found in the 6-minute video above by DSLR Video Shooter will cost you only $50 and involves just one light source: a 24″ x 24″ soft box.

For this to work properly, you want a large soft box to diffuse and distribute a nice soft light. If you’re doing smaller, more detailed things, then a 16″ x 16″ option will work too.

This soft box uses an LED light screwed into the bulb mount, which costs about $20, outputting 40 watts of power.

The light is “mounted” using standard plastic storage boxes, holding the light directly over the product in question.!
