    @manufactured123 The clip does seem too focused around the one tent. At the same time, though, a lot of light tents have similar characteristics.

    According to this video there is actually no way to do product photography without this tent.

    @errorrestricted of course you can, just surround product with normal office paper and use flashesh. but you need softbox or an umbrella to achieve soft light.

    I’ve sold some of my stuff that’s been around a while on Craigslist a while back. I used a small white board (the kind you use dry erase markers for) and two large softboxes. The results were pretty amazing, and I swear they sold very fast just because of the appeal they had due to the professional look of their images. Definitely do not underestimate the power of presentation!

    Honestly, just for a few photographs for ebay a white background (paper, wall, cloth, …), a little window light and maybe a white reflector will do just fine.

    i believe you can make that thing yourself just by using a box and a couple sheets of paper. i saw how someone did that.
