DIY White Box


A sheet of themocole and a cutter. And fevicol. This was all I needed to make an apparatus essential to product photgraphy- the White box.

I didn't have help at hand nor was I equipped with a remote shutter release. I then shifted focus to other normal things and the results are below:
