Build your own lightbox to take backlit images
LIGHTBOXES are designed to illuminate a subject from behind. A favourite of artists, they’re also perfect for shooting close-ups of semi-translucent subjects.
Ready-made lightboxes or even light tables can be pretty expensive to buy, but you can build your own for next to nothing.
Take an old cereal box, some translucent material such as greaseproof or tracing paper, and some fairy lights. You might need to do a bit of jiggling to get the light to spread evenly, but it works brilliantly for capturing close-ups.
