Homemade miniature studio

hairyslug

Looking for some help or advise.

Has anyone made a miniature studio, up until now I may have been using photos taken of Google but now want to move away from that and use my own photos for online sales.

I've seen a few online they seem fairly basic but can be a bit expensive so would like to try and build one myself.

What size are the items?

What equipment do you have already?

What are your skill levels?

What is your expectation of quality?

What is your budget?

Thanks for the reply

Size: about the same size as a standard mobile phone going up to the size of a page of a4.

Equipment, at the moment, a Samsung s7, photo quality in my opinion is good, as I would be only taking items for an online store, I really don't want to spend to much

Skill level: I can press a button, not much else.

Expectation: not expecting anything fancy, just a neutral background and no glare/reflection.

Budget: Trying to keep it as tight as possible, under €200 for the "studio". I reckon I won't be taking more than 30 photos a month.

Something like this?

Just need to add a couple of lamps. I think you'd probably get away with standard home bedside lamps fitted with daylight bulbs.

Phillip McCordall on Youtube has some great tips for product photography. Ignore the equipment and just watch the lighting techniques, often using stuff you can find around the house.

I would suggest a couple of worklamps from a Hardware store and a Laundry Hamper light box.

You don't really need much.
