Here I will show how you can use the chinese portable photo studio.

I set it up with a small power bank.

But that one was to weak so I have to use a bigger one. I put in the black background that comes with the studio.

So I will try to made a wrist shot. smile))

This is not so good, all the leds will shows up at the crystal.

So I change the angle a bit and it will be a lot better. But there is some reflections and the dust shows up. So a cloth and a blower will fix that.

Then I folding a bakery paper and try to diffuse the light and the reflections.

Now it looks a lot better and you get how you should do to get a decent shot with a cheap camera.

Then I plug in my DSLR to get a little better quality.

And with some editing it will looks like this.
