    Light box

    So I tried making a light box. My phone camera is making some weird shadow lines that I don't really understand but in these few it doesn't look too bad. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions to help my poor photography skillz lol

    The coloring of the photos is very yellow, so maybe using a daylight bulb would help to make it more neutral. They're also brighter than regular bulbs, so that helps your camera with its shutter speed.

    Thank you for the advice. I think I need to add more light in general, at least one more on top because they sure were not very bright with the light only on the sides. I used a filter to try to brighten them and I think that may be giving them the yellow look too.

    The high unnatural light and/or a unclean lens are causing the bands. Try cleaning the lens and either not using flash on the camera itself or adjusting the strength of your light kit overall.

    I don't know that much about photography, but I have to say I LOVE your models

    I agree though, there is a yellow tint in the pictures that may throw off the sharpness ? You may have to have a different light source. Cooler light like was mentioned. Perhaps more of it.
