Kit Cube Light
What’s the best way to photograph clothes in a light cube?

I want to take some pics of clothes for auction but would like to use a light cube – one of those studio in a box kits. Do they work? what are some tips on using them? What’s the best size for photographing clothes? Can you shoot pics from the top as well as from the side?

I don’t know the type of light box you will be using, but some of them have a slot on each side for the lens to poke through and get your shot.

I built my own box and these are the results I have found. If you want even lighting, then have 2 light sources pointed at 45 degrees on either side of the box. The lights I use are 40watt daylight rated(which means they are the same color temp as sunlight, so set your white balance accordingly. If you are using tungsten(light bulbs), then use the tungsten WB setting).

The 40 watt bulbs are not overly bright, so I need to adjust my exposure compensation to +.7 to get the images bright enouhg for my taste(I shoot with a white background and mostly white objects, this leads the camera to underexpose a little, hence the need to adjust the exposure compensation.)

You will need to experiment a little with your setup. You might not need to adjust the exposure at all, or you might need to cut it a little if you are using more powerful light sources.
