Hi Jeweller’s Academy, Where can we buy a photo tent (not sure if that’s the correct name) like the one in the video?

[@JewellersAcademy]

Hi there, you can buy photography tents in various places, Amazon or Cookson Gold or photographic specialists. Hope that helps! x

[@jamesbuxton9632]

Great video thankyou. I am setting up a photography area in my small box bedroom at home. I need a small collapsable light tent like in your video, a tripod and a couple of lights can you recommend anything in particular for this? A free standing tripod would probably be best as you say for moving up and down.

It would have been so great if she'd repeated people's questions/comments so the microphone picked them up.
