I see so many people taking beautiful photo's of their soaps using a photo box. Would anyone care to post up a tutorial on how to create one?

I have a cardboard box with 75% of the sides and top cut out. I put frosted vellum over because I had it (you could use a trash bag or something opaque). I use two lamps on either side.

It does pretty well. Feel free to check out my photos on my site.

Good Luck!

Right here, silly!
This is the site I used for building my own light box. It works great and it cost me almost nothing. All I needed was a cardboard box (had one on hand already in my garage), some tissue paper (had it on hand already in my Christmas wrapping supplies), and some poster board (only .50 a sheet at the store down the street from me). For lighting, I use the lights that are already in my house, or I take the box outside and use the sun as my light source.
