The ezCube
While working on the book “Digital Desktop Studio Photography” we looked high and low for lighting products that were easy to use AND easy to store. We are now making arrangements to make these products available to you at our partner site. Neither ShortCourses nor the authors benefit financially from any of these sales. We’re recommending them because they work! Lets see why.

These two objects are normally difficult to photograph because of the recesses, textures, and reflective surfaces. What made these shots posssible, by a photographer with very limited experience, was a light tent called the ezCube.

fast and easy.
Here’s what the light tent looks like with a product inside it. The front cover has been pulled back so you can look inside. Normally, the cover is closed and you photograph through a slit.
The best lights we’ve been able to find are those from Smith-Victor. They are high-quality and low cost. To make the lights even better, we replaced the incandescent bulbs with compact flourescent lightbulbs (CFLs) that are daylight balanced, last almost forever, and run cool.
