Photo food with DIY the ligth box
Hello,
this is my second try with my homemade Light Box. For this new picture I took a picture of a dish prepared by my wife, stuffed zucchini (it was very good for the record). I thought it could be a good start with a food picture.
The Zucchini have a green color; I took a plate with almost the same color + a piece of Swedish bread to make the contrast with all the green color.
Material for the shooting
- Ironing board to place your lightbox on
- 2 Flashes in my case Vivita 285HV – for the light
- Pocketwizard Plus II – to trigger the flashes
- Sigma 105 mm 2.8f
- Nikon D200
On the first shoot, I tried several positions of the camera and of the subject, as you can below. At the end I select the position from the top.

105 mm - 1/250 f14
