Re: [BKARTS] book photography

[Roberta Lavadour <paper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are lots of helpful tips at the "benefits" section of 
http://www.ezcube.com . I received one of these small light diffuse boxes 
with the table top lights from Santa last year and it's worked great. 
They're geared towards ebay sellers, so there are dozens of specific kits 
for particular items, but you can buy parts separately too. I ended up 
purchasing a larger gradiated background sheet from a photo supply store and 
often just use it on a table top without the box.

all the best,
Roberta
