    Curious about using that levels layer to see what's going on. Is that a layer that's put there especially for that purpose and how do you set it for best results. Thanks.

    Came across this looking to brush up on my product photography as I got a new job as a product photographer and I am super nervous. I have been working as a school photographer for 5 years and haven't done anything along these lines since college. I may have to save this to a play list and study a few videos to get back into the swing of it.

  25. Chris De La Fuente says

    When building sets like that what material do you use to get the best result with painting? I think I heard you used MDF? All the MDF I see when I go to Home Depot is 1" which is so heavy to manuever versus what looks like .5" used here. Thanks anyone's comments on this would be awesome!

  26. Mark Asuncion says

    Anyone have an idea of how someone can build a similar tri-color open box set up?

  27. smsoum says
