Pin ItArticle EditDiscussYou don't have to have a tent, a box, or a light table to take close up and macro shots. You can get by with nothing more than two pieces of paper and some tape.

Edit Steps1Take the first sheet of paper and make it more narrow by a few inches. Precision isn't necessary, it just needs to be more narrow.

2Tape the front of the piece of the paper wherever you will be taking the picture at. You will be adhering it to the table or box.

3Tape the back of the paper and tape it to something that has some height to it. A small cup or glass.

4Bend the second sheet in half.

5Fold each half towards the middle.

This will be to create a 'tent' over the first sheet of paper. This will diffuse the light over your subject.6Set up your light above your paper studio about a foot. Start experimenting with it to see where you want to position your lights for your shot.

Edit Things You'll Need2 sheets of paper, about the weight of copy paper. You could use tissue or wax paper for different diffusion.Scotch tapeat least one source of light, off camera (off camera flash or desk lights)
