By no stretch of the imagination do I consider myself a photographer, but I am trying to get better and learn as much as possible. As I get products to review I find myself looking at different areas of my apartment to take product shots and I haven’t found anything suitable, yet. And paying XX amount for a light tent is just out of the question. Our favorite Swede, Ikea, seems to be a purveyor of budget light tents whether they know it or not. A little ingenuity and elbow grease can pay dividends for any aspiring photographer needing equipment on the cheap.
