I need ideas on making a black shooting box. Black Background in the dimensions of 36in by 36in by 36in. Painted Wood is an option, Cardboard is an option, or maybe buy one.
Any ideas? |

Black boxes are actually bright orange so that they're easy to see if they need to be recovered.
Oh, that's the airline industry... ;-) |

| Flat black foamcore boards from Michael's is what I use. I use (4) 36x48 to create a box with openning on end (or side) to shoot into. |

I made a 'cube' shape frame with copper conduit pipe and elbows. The elbows get spot welded to stop them from rotating. Its collapsable and moveable fairly easily. I then took a sheet of white (yes I said white) formica and formed it around 3 sides. This is wire tied to the conduit. I use clamp style lights to light my subject.
White will make a black background if you dont add light. so I flip it to where the open side is down and put a black velvet fabric down the back side and the floor. The fibers of velvet absorbs more light than paper/foam board. The longer the 'tunnel' the darker it will be. I shoot at night and light on the front avoiding stray light bouncing down into the tunnel.
I have pics somewhere but I don't have them on the pc anymore. I will see if I can find them and add it later.
ps. They do make a black formica sheet as well.
