DIY: Micro Studio

There are plenty of sites showing you how to build a “micro studio” out of white foam core. I, however, wanted to mount a white seamless in my micro studio.

My friend Stephen helped me build the frame out of a single piece of 2×4 wood. We cut the wood into 3 even pieces, about 32 inches a piece. Then fitted them together and drilled screws to hold them in place.

For some extra support, he cut these triangular pieces and nailed them to the back of the frame, and added “feet” to the bottom of the frame.

I took 3 pieces of foam core and made a box to fit inside of the frame. I purchased a 24inch white seamless from Calumet and got a shower tension rod from home depot to hold it up. I left the top open so that I can drop a soft box on top. I haven’t tested it yet, but I’m sure it will work out great. More pictures to come when I actually photograph something in here.
