as a professional product photographer of over 20 years, I can say this is one of the smartest and simplest solutions for a diy lightbox ever. ive used this and/or collapsible closthes hampers with freezer paper diffusers. well played, bro. more than the man, you're the craftsman.

Man, I've built some complicated light boxes in the past. This is genius! CrafsMan, you're the best!

CrafsMan....the Bob Ross of crafting!

I've never seen a light box made like this. Using a curved piece of white paper with a separate light diffuser always seemed like a pain to setup. This is so much easier.

2 videos in one week! AWESOME!!!!!!!! Keep'em coming!

this is THE BEST CHANNEL

I'm reminded of printing school where classmates and I put a slab of glass over a laundry basket and used it for tracing a project that HAD to be turned in the next day. Worked great!

I was just about to spend $80 on a photo light box on ebay. I'm going to try this set up first! You're a genius!! TFS!

Crafsman -- what an excellent, informative video and the that voice is smooth as silk.

WOW! Not only what I needed to know, but with a heap of laid back and friendly style to the delivery! Following you for sure!

As a jewelry creator and all around fellow diyer who is a HUGE asmr fan I LOVE THIS! I will need a much wider trash can but im sure I could find one under 7 if I do some searching.

well, I'm glad I found you. I've been searching for a high end light box, thinking it will help me.... Dollar Store, here I come!

Best idea I've seen yet for a light box

You are amazing, Craftsman!!

So cool about the macro thing I didn't know you could pull off the same effect by holding your lens out in front like that. I need to get me one of those for my closeup shots.

Big shout out to Fred's dollar store! Thanks again crafsman

You are incredibly inventive! I am delighted in every way. You are the McGiver of crafting! Amazing!!!!

This is amazing and so are you! You crafty af, Crafts man! 💁🏻‍♀️🤯 Thank you!!

Thank you Craftsman!! You are the best!!! I needed a super inexpensive option.

Mitch Hedberg lives!!!....and he's doing DYI videos hahaha

Thats fantastic. Ive done something similar using a translucent kitty litter jug pulled out of the recycle bin but Im going to invest in four bucks for the trash can. Thank you for the tip on using a sheet of glass.

YOU ARE AWESOME MR. CRAFSMAN!!!

Crafsman you are the coolest dude on KZfaq. I wish we were neighbors or something ❤️

YOU ARE MY HERO CRAFTSMAN!!! The glass pane under the jewelry is nothing but GENIUS!!! Have you seen any indecisive stars lately Mr. Craftsman? If so, please share with us.

Crafs man, where were you when I was taking photography classes in college? This is an awesome idea! I'll definitely be giving this a try. Thanks so much for sharing all of your crafting skills. These are some of the best videos I've ever seen!

This is awesome, Crafsman! I can't wait to try this. I just opened a shop on etsy but my photos are pretty bad. This helps tremendously!

CrafsMan, you are an excellent video host- your ideas are complex, but you make it all so accessible. Also, like Bob Ross' voice, your voice achieves maximum relaxation for my stressed out self. Thank you so much!

Fantastic idea! Crafts Man, you are a genius. That setup frees your hands so you can mess with your camera and settings without messing up the light source and direction of your light source. Great video! Have a blessed day!

Well shoot, this is informational, relaxing, creative, and just awesome audio to listen to in general. You have a wonderful voice. :) Best accidental asmr ever! Super great channel!

Maaan, I wish I knew about this years ago when I use to photograph jewelry and other small things for an EBay seller. Could of saved a lot of money and head aches dealing with my crazy lighting system. Edit: For anyone wondering, the white piece of paper does help.

THANK YOU CRAFS MAN THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

this is the best channel ever

Love your style, your topics and especially your voice (ahhh, I could listen for days). Be blessed.

As a photographer, I want to minimize the hassle of setting up a shot. You definitely have done it for small product photography! Great tutorial.

Your channel is one of my absolute favorites, I've been getting so many great ideas from you! I'm going to use this lightbox method to take pictures of some jewelry I've been wanting to put on Etsy. You're the best!

You are amazing!! Love your videos :)

CrafsMan, you are so smart!

your voice is so soothing! great vid :)

Another great video! Thank you so much! I've been wanting to use a light box but it seemed like such a pain since I don't have enough space to leave it set up.

Brilliant!

Also if you dont have a macro you can set the camera 3 feet away and zoom into the subject/ item. Works great ! Also use your timer function as to not create a slight vibration from pressing the shutter release button creating slight image distortion that is amplified in macro or zoom modes. Also if you dont have a trashcan you can use white paper as your backdrop. Just bend the paper like a half tube or half pipe. The shape should be like if you cut a tube in half long ways. This results like a miniature verson of a full model set pros use for shooting models for glammor magazine covers. Also always uses your camera flash but difuse it by holding or taping a thin white piece of paper over the flash. Please be careful with the light on the box. Dont leave unattended. Could smelt that plastic down and the rest up in flames. Common Sense. Another great video! Im a jewelry designer and do all my own photos. I have never tried this box style. I think it is very simple and genius . A plus on this great idea! Thanks crafsman!

Found you through an engraving group on fb someone posted the transfer to metal video of yours. "CRAFS MAN" brilliant name, love it. Had to watch more, subcribed. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!!! Crafs Man!👍

A tutorial, a DIY, photography ASMR

Crafsman, this is genius. Thanks! Also, I'm stoked that you have an etsy account.

I bought a collapsible lightbox for real money... every time I uncollapse it it has harsh wrinkles everywhere. And, when I take it outside, it blows around like a kite. This solves both of those problems!

Two Crafsman video in a month? How did we get so lucky!

thx sir, again some good tips!!1 keep on going !! greet pascal... P.s when using a android smart phone the"Binoculars " app on the play store (for macro-vision) is a awesome tool ...

that is so ... right. thanks

Genius!

hey crafsman, you should consider posting videos to the asmr app "tingles"

I'll always love your videos? Whereabouts do you live, Crafsman? It looks like a beautiful locale!

Thankyou..

Crafsman, you are such a good teacher! You explain things clearly and in such a simple but comprehensive way! Is the spoon ring with the eagle from this video for sale? I

cool idea ... think it would work just as well photographing glassware?

Genius

did you make those spoon rings Crafs Man? really like the eagle one. another great video!

What type of light bulb or wattage do you use? I am still getting a glare on my jewelry.
