For my DIY Studio, i didn’t have some of the materials that the tutorial was showing/asking for, so since i have a lamp that gives a good amount of light, soft like the ones in the studios, I thought that my lamp was great for this mini project at home. I also used left over material from previous classes. I used two white boards and the a black one for back up.
It is great that you could use things that you have at hand. Just make sure to make yourself some kind of diffusion screen so that you can get softer light.
