Comments about Creative Light 20" Light Shed:
I like that it folds down so its easily portable and saves storage space, but the fabric wrinkles from being folded. Otherwise, it yields nice even light for jewelry photography and is an affordable solution since I don't do product photography too often.

Comments about Creative Light 20" Light Shed:
A nice, simple, sturdy product. The backdrops are useless because they come folded and the creases are pretty much baked in. I'm tossing mine. Doesn't affect my review, because it's easy enough to get fabric, trim it to size and glue on a couple of pieces of velcro. The tent itself is a nice size - I bought it to use on the road. It folds up fairly small. It took me a long time to get the hang of folding it, but I expected that. The printed instructions are OK, but I found videos on Youtube that were much more helpful (do a search for "fold a light tent.) The final twist is tricky (but that's true of all the tents I've seen).

Comments about Creative Light 20" Light Shed:
I was asked to photograph a number of objects that contained glitter and shiney foil. The Light Shed did a great job of diffusing light and allowing the objects to be well lit. The background material was excellent in that they were attached by Velcro. It allowed photography on two levels as the material covered the back and bottom of the light shed. I found it difficult to pack the the light shed as it required twisting and some know how in being a contortionist. However, after a few times it became rather easy to fold up and pack away. The framework needed readjustment after each opening of the light shed. Overall, I would recommend this product.

Comments about Creative Light 20" Light Shed:
I am using this light shed primarily to photograph product for sale on the internet. My results, for the most part, have been fabulous. I purchased a couple of lights to go with it, but so far have used only natural light and have not required any further illumination. The backdrop is prone to wrinkling and collecting dirt, fibers, etc., but it's a minor thing. I can't imagine any fabric that wouldn't do that, anyway. Very pleased overall. btw, folding this thing back into the case just takes a little practice. I love the portability factor.

The 20" light shed is perfect for studio projects as well as product photography for such endeavors as selling on-line. I especially liked the inclusion of background fabrics of different colors, the carrying case, and the fact that the shed folds for storage. Using the shed helps mitigate shadows, color casts, and other issues related to indoor studio projects.

I'm using the Light Shed to photograph camera lenses and othe small objects for use in auction sales. The light shed instantly eliminates all the fiddling around I had to do to suppress shadows in my pictures.
