You'll learn how to make a softbox, reflector, and shoot using common household goods. If you're stuck at home in quarantine, now is as good a time as any to learn about lighting and practice it at home.

I'll then use both sets of DIY lights and light modifiers to shoot a wine bottle, with tips on how to best use lighting for photography.

  • Great range of ideas, from inexpensive to virtually free, and the video is very well-done. I mainly do landscape and event photography, so I didn't want to invest much in equipment I don't use that often. This is exactly what I was looking for to set up lighting for Ebay photographs quickly and cheaply--many thanks!
