How to make a better one-and the crucial final thing I didn't do-the bendy piece of paper! I can add it though. You might need to click on the photo to read the writing, though it is a pretty obvious process!
Little proto-type lady for ladies in dresses photographed in the box. I de-saturated this photo then added colour to the face. The pink and black outline makes her look 1950s to me, and like she is in a powder room. I have made loads more of the legs and am going to make some more little people later. The head is made from a cotton bead, attached with a button as an anchor. I drew the face with gel pens and coloured pencil.
Assorted collection of red and yellow objects, also photographed in the box.

even if there are shadow lines from the edges of the box.
Thank you for the light bot tutorial, Sarah! I have a make-shift one, but could do with a better box! For some of my jewelry photography I've been making a simple set in my dining room with large pieces/sheets of plain white card stock/poster board and it's been working pretty good. I like your photos at the bottom--the shadow lines add interest without distraction. Great work! :o) Happy Week, my friend ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI really like the slight shadows of the background, it adds a charm to what can look a bit sterile sometimes. I am always looking out for a good box for a light box. Must try harder!
