A photo tent, also known as a light tent, provides a diffused light that casts evenly across your subject. It reduces harsh shadows, and it is particularly effective for product and food photography. Most tents look like a cube with white translucent fabric covering all the sides. The front panel either has a hole for your camera or is removable. Inside, you place a piece of fabric that runs from the bottom front of the cube to the top back. The fabric provides a seamless background in your photo. You place your subject on the fabric.

Set up the light tent according to the instructions on a waist-high table. A higher table helps you stand upright while taking the photo and is easier on your back -- especially if photographing all day. The waist height of the table still allows you to shoot slightly downward into the tent.
2Place a wireless flash or other light source on the right and left sides of the tent. The closer you place the flashes, the stronger the shadows but the brighter the light. For more even lighting, move each flash so the output illuminates the entire side panel. If you need more light, increase the flash's output or add extra flashes.
3Attach the fabric background to the tent according to the instructions. Iron any wrinkled backgrounds as wrinkles create distracting shadows in the photo. Alternatively, poster board provides a wrinkle free background.
4Place the subject into the center of the light tent. Press the modeling light on your camera. The modeling light causes the flashes to light up for several seconds. While the flashes glow, look at the light on your subject. Move the lights around until you like how it looks. On cameras without a modeling light, take a photo and examine it on the camera's LCD panel. Move the flashes according to what you see.
5Place a third flash at the same level of your subject if you notice any shadows from the first two flashes. Set the power level to just remove the shadows and not overpower the other two flashes.
6Take a shot and examine it. Adjust the light's positions and outputs until you get the desired effect.
