Heres what you need:

  1. Long ruler (metal ruler preferred)
  2. Sharp strong blade
  3. Pencil
  4. Masking tape & glue
  5. Tracing paper – big sheets
  6. A large sheet of white card / art card
  7. 2 or 3 stand lights

Step by Step :

  • Once you have your tracing paper pasted, place your white artcard IN the box.
  • Place your lights on both sides – left and right. If you have extra light, shine from top view too.
  • Place your subject inside box and start shooting away :)

Heres how mine looked like.
