I've recently splashed out on an early Christmas present for myself, buying a Nikon D3200 DSLR.

Now I need to get me a photo booth.
What kit do I need, what should I look out for, who makes them & where is best to shop for them?
Any other info on how to use them, etc, etc, would be appreciated too.

Thanks for your help.

Joe.

Light tent on eBay

I've bought two of these that I use for photographing my models. I can't remember exactly the sizes, but that specific type comes in a few different sizes to choose from. The included backdrops are kinda crap, so I use a sheet of A3-sized paper as a curved background.

These light tents are cheap and easy to use. They fold up nicely when you don't need them as well.

I was able to make a good, if not rather large, light box out of PVC pipe and fitting that cost me $30 or so. I chose to cover mine around the sides with velum and went with a 3 light setup. It works for what I need, is stable and can break down with minor effort.
