The box - a tutorial
welcome to my tutorial
I recently posted this photo to a Facebook Boudoir group and received a ton of amazing feedback and compliments! So many wanted to know how this was created and I would love to share that with you. I've compiled all of my thoughts using photos, examples, and videos in this "how to" just for you! Feel free to skip to the parts you'd like to use and you are welcome to use my template. There are probably many ways to construct the box or edit the final photo but this is the way I did it. I hope you gain some useful tips and I can't wait to see what you create !!
BUILD
Click on the images for a copy of plans and the instructions. I added a materials and tool lists as well. I don't have a video constructing this as I didn't film, not knowing there were be so many interested in how it was made. I hope this helps and of course you are welcome to reach out with any questions.

STUDIO /Camera SET UP
blog style with images
I achieved the images in my studio by using the above set up. You may decide to use different lighting (such as a fixed camera flash) and achieve similar results. It is important that you utilize a tripod for your camera to ensure each image is exactly the same along with keeping the same lighting and other equipment positions.
Studio/Camera - coming soon

I am NOT a content creator and it was a learning curve trying to figure out how to screen record today....but, I got it done and here are 3 videos showing you my processes. The information may come across as "out of order" but I simplified it for those who only wanted certain aspect of the work. I also say "we" a lot like I have a mouse in my pocket helping out....If you have questions, just reach out! I'm here to help you babe!!
