Description
Don't ask for any links on how to make a softbox. I made mine from memory, and not a tutorial

Just build my very own first DIY softbox
About 24" by 18"
It's kind of square, but still if you turn it verticaly it will work

Anyway, hope you enjoy some of my test shots lol.
All of these images are unedited, especialy to show what it looked like without any photoshop.

I like the results
ps. hope you like my little barbie models XD Don't have anyone who is willing to model... so I suffer with dolls lol.

Oh, and please don't ask how to build one! Because i made mine from memory, and not from a particular tutorial. Therefore i can't give you any links or anything like that, hence there is no sertain tutorial
Good luck, and thanks for looking

To get myself a practice model, available 24/7 I went to a wig store and bought a cheap wig with one of those styrofoam heads that the wigs are stored on. The advantage is that it is full size (for humans). I must admit that Barbie is prettier tho.

This is great, and super helpful - what did you use inside the softbox as a light? Do you have an external flash or did you just use a lamp?

Very creative! I think I've done something similar once, but with more of a funnel shape. Also, off topic question here, but... what font did you use for the tutorial??? XD

One word: very creatif....


Vous nous montrez qu'il faut porter la notion "créativité" pour qu'on puisse etre une grande artiste.

Wow! I really like the shots you used in this tutorial... It makes me wish I still had my Barbies.

I'm going to have to make myself a softbox now.

Hey, your barbies are good models regardless! They dont fuss, move around when you dont want them to.. lol.

I like your photo tutorials.. Its nice to see someone reaching out to help others improve Even small improvements by adding a reflector make huge differences in shots (as I discovered last quarter in school)
