Amazon Basics Light Box Photography, 25 x 30 x 25 Inches Large Portable Foldable Photo Studio Box with LED Light, 1 Piece, Black

Upon receiving my delivery of the AmazonBasics Portable Studio, within the first five minutes I was shooting excellent product photos. I'm not at all exaggerating - the set-up was incredibly easy-breezy, and the light emitted inside the box is perfectly balanced and positioned. I read some of the reviews posted by others that mentions the crease in the backdrop (or sweep) but I am not at all bothered by this, as it is incredibly subtle and can be easily edited out if it really bothers you that much. The backdrop is manufactured of a heavier vinyl-ish material - it seems this probably allows the backdrop to remain smooth and mostly wrinkle-free when the studio is folded up stored.For reference, I should mention that I had previously purchased the following items as my product photo studio solution:LimoStudio 16" Folding Photo Box Tent LED Light Table Top Photography Studio KitStudioPRO 675W Triple Translucent Umbrella Continuous Bright Lighting Kit for Photo, Photography, Film & Video Studio - (Set of 3)Cowboystudio 33 inch Photography Studio Translucent Shoot Through White UmbrellaKAEZI 45 Watt Studio Grow Light Bulb Compact Fluorescent 5500K CFL Day Light Bulb (45 Watts)My former set-up (the LimoStudio tent) came with four sweeps (white, black, blue and red), which I initially thought would be useful, but in the end, I only ever used the white sweep, which collected dirt very easily and was made of a cheap material that I found impossible to clean. The LED lights that came with that studio did not diffuse correctly and basically emitted a spotlight effect from whichever angle they were positioned. I then purchased the StudioPro umbrella kit to solve this problem - these took up a ton of floor space, and in my two-room apartment, such a thing was exceedingly inconvenient. Even after all of the additional items I purchased and the incessant tweaking I did, I was not happy with the quality of my product photos, and my studio set-up had taken over my life.Ultimately, my experience, spending hours with all of these former components proved nothing but frustrating, and futile - they didn't come close to the ease of use and the immediate-high-quality output yielded within the first few minutes using the AmazonBasics studio.The example photos I posted reflect a quick-and-dirty, unedited, no-filter test I did using my Microsoft Lumia 735 8.2 megapixel camera phone. I have a DSLR that I use for product photos, but this shows how decent the results are out of the box, using super-basic equipment.I'm beyond satisfied with this purchase - it's everything I need, and I honestly wish I'd purchased it first, before sinking the same amount of money into separate components that ultimately didn't measure up.

I have never used a light box before so I didn't know what to expect. I read many of the reviews and decided to take the plunge. I works great! Yes, as some other reviewers have noted, there is a bit of a shadow on one side due to the absence of a light on the right side, but I found that I could remedy that with my edits and / or adjustments on my phone.Some reviewers also mentioned a crease in the sweep that was visible in the background. The instruction manual says that you can iron the sweep on the back side only. I tried this starting from a low temperature and working up to a higher temperature that ironed out the crease. The manual did not give a temperature setting for the iron. It worked beautifully. Crease gone! If you want a colored bottom, I found that a piece of colored poster board fit perfectly inside on the bottom. The openings on the top and front work good, too for getting different perspectives. I also flip the cover up over the top and can get some good shots that way, too.One note about the pictures that found disappointing. There is so much light in the light box - it literally appears white - but when I looked at my pictures they were all gray and drab. This attests to the fact that I am a novice at this. The gray can be fixed with editing. I have an iphone 8 and it comes with as many editing features as any free online photo editing app. What I found worked for me was to aim my camera at the object in the light box, hold my finger on my iphone screen until the focus square came into view, then move my finger along the screen upward to lighten up the photo. Worked great and saved with the need to edit as much, if at all. Surprisingly, this worked well even when the lights in the light box were not on.This photo studio is large but is so easy to pop up and put back down again - it literally takes less than a minute. I keep mine in the original bag and box when taken down to keep it just that much more protected and clean. If you try poster board for background color like I did (some of my products are white), the poster board fits perfectly in the box, too.I would highly recommend.

I received this last night and got up early this morning to try it out. I have to re-photograph all my merchadise because I'm upgrading my retail website and I needed to have consistent light across all my products. This is FANTASTIC!!! I cannot believe the improvement in clarity, plus the lighting is great. Easy set-up---it just intuitively pops up and it keeps it shape despite me throwing the 4th side wall cover up and on top so that I could quickly stage the next product. I shot multiple shots of about 90 handbags today and I didn't have to re-shoot any of them due to poor quality. I wish I could photograph the clothing models in it but its too small for that. However, when I plan to shoot the lead color in full length and then shoot the rest folded to show the other colors it comes in, so I can use it for the too. 25" x 30" x 30" is a very generous size. I love that it folds up flat in its self-carrying case. Unless you are an incredibly picky professional photographer I cant imagine that you won't love this.This is one of the best investments I've made in my business!

Nice size, good features but missing a few things that could make it great. The first thing missing is a power switch and or dimmer, you have to plug it into the wall to get it turn on so it’s either on or off. Second, there is no light on the right side, not a deal breaker but would be helpful.Overall the folding design is great and its descent to put most things in with ease. I would recommend but understand the things that are missing. If Amazon included the missing things it would be a five star from me.
