I need a Photo Studio...

Managed to start on my LBZ-01 LB Gojulas. Wanted to take some progress pictures only to realize I haven't really any setup to take decent photos. No backdrop, no lighting, no nothing. I only had my camera.

Then I remembered I saw something like a photo booth in either DHM or HJM. Ploughed through the stack of magazines I had and managed to locate the item. It's Mr. Photo Studio by G Tools.

This setup actually sells for Y30,000 on a popular online store. I think I can replicate the same for much, much less. The 2 clip lights for instance, I can get one in at a neighbourhood thrift shop for under S$10. The ones in the pictures have diffusers to reduce the glare on the subjecy. For that effect, I can simply attach a plain copier paper screen, or even use tissue paper. It all depends on the amount of light I need, so no biggie. The backdrop used in Mr. Photo Studio is similar to a retractable blind. I know there are similar blinds use for car windows, so a look around in a Car Assessories shop should turn up something.

The only thing that I need to source is the cage. It should be big enough for me to put in a range of kit sizes without running out of space. This one might be tricky to find. I'll see if there is anything similar in the flee markets at Sungei Rd, failing which I'll shop around some hardware stores. If anyone knows where I can get something similar, please drop me a comment.
