    FOR EVERYONE ASKING WHAT THE HECK MATERIAL THAT WHITE BACKDROP IS, SEARCH FOR A "WHITE PERSPEX SHEET" OR "WHITE ACRYLIC SHEET".
    They actually come in many colours and many building material supply stores will sell them. I'm sorry I didnt clarify it enough in the video. Thanks everyone for your wonderful feedback. Makes me feel good that I can help a lot of people 👍🏻 more videos coming.

      The lamp you put next to the product, does that emulate natural light as if it were shining through a window? I don't have alot of windows in my house so no natural light to take pictures with.

    I could not figure out what "Baking Paper" was. Finally found it.
    "Parchment paper, Baking Paper, or bakery release paper are cellulose-based papers that have been treated or coated to make them non-stick. They are used in baking as a disposable non-stick surface. They should not be confused with wax paper or waxed paper, which is paper that has been impregnated with wax."Wikipedia.

    Pro tip: dont use harsh light when doing product photography because when you use harsh lighting setups, the light will be too strong thus casting a relatively 'strong' shadow around your product, subconsiously, the shadow moves the overall attention of the viewer from the product to the shadow. so remember to difuse the light to prevent drastic dynamic difference

    I was a bit paranoid then that you’d made a video about me, Easy, Cheap and Good Looking. Great video with really good explanation, even the common everyday reflector got a great explanation. I often use tracing paper as a diffuser on an old background stand hanging one part of the cross bar a good few inches from the light, as it’s easier and cheaper to get the big rolls. I even double it up at times to give gradation around a cylindrical object. I certainly wouldn’t buy that diffusion material but don’t leave modelling lights on in contact with it or any other lighting that gets hot, but the same applies for gels.

    Thank you for sharing this video. After watching this I realised that I didn't need the light box I was planning to make. I ended up using two strips of white vinyl (the vinyl that they print banners on) suspended, at right angles to each other, by adhesive velcro dots. In my workshop two small rolls of vinyl are easy to store and more importantly to keep clean, as my hands are invariably dirty from working with metal. It hangs below a big overhead worklight, which is above a workbench, takes me about 30 seconds to install, and works perfectly.
