2 replies, posted
You will need:
- floor lamp
- either really bright light bulb, or another tiny lamp (having two lamps will make the lighting softer)
- Umbrella
- Wax paper and tin foil
- picture frame
Step 1: place your floor lamp, if you are using two lamps, tape it to the light bulbs are maybe 6-8 inches apart.
Step two:
glue or tape wax paper over the picture frame
Step 3:
glue or pin tin foil to the inside of the umbrella
Step 4:
Tape the umbrella to the lamp
Step 5:
Attatch the picture frame so it sits on the umbrella handle, and loop some string through a hole at the top of the umbrella to keep it steady, don't forget to spam tape everywhere so it all holds together.
Step 6:
Take pretty photos with your new frankenstein monster lamp!

I find this useful and appropriate
It would also be better to use a bigger frame, maybe with metal clothes hangers. And you can replace the tin foil with silver spray paint if you want or even just a shiny silver umbrella.
