Make a Paper Macro Studio

You don't have to have a tent, a box, or a light table to take close up and macro shots. You can get by with nothing more than two pieces of paper and some tape.

Steps

 * 1)  Take the first sheet of paper and make it more narrow by a few inches. Precision isn't necessary, it just needs to be more narrow.
 * 2)  Tape the front of the piece of the paper wherever you will be taking the picture at. You will be adhering it to the table or box.
 * 3)  Tape the back of the paper and tape it to something that has some height to it. A small cup or glass.
 * 4)  Bend the second sheet in half.
 * 5)  Fold each half towards the middle.
 * 6) * This will be to create a 'tent' over the first sheet of paper. This will diffuse the light over your subject.
 * 7)  Set up your light above your paper studio about a foot. Start experimenting with it to see where you want to position your lights for your shot.

Things You'll Need

 * 2 sheets of paper, about the weight of copy paper. You could use tissue or wax paper for different diffusion.
 * Scotch tape
 * at least one source of light, off camera (off camera flash or desk lights)
