A photography light box (also called a white box or light tent) is an empty box with translucent sides and a smooth white backdrop. it's main use is for product photography, which can include taking photos of miniatures, jewellery, maybe even a new product for a company. The light box can really be used to capture any object that is small enough to fit inside. It is the easiest way to photograph something that needs light, whilst also getting that background effect.
