what equipment was used??

[holderbeam]

basically got sent this picture, friends asked me to kinda try and re create it for her portfolio and cos im so nice i said i would see if i could

but first i want to know what the model is on because im really into homemade equipment at the moment and really want to make one (another way of saying im a broke student) although if its just a lightbox i can't see myself allowing a friend to step onto a makeshift glass platform soo please help

thanks

thick toughened glass?

Plexiglass? That stuff is very strong, but surface scratches easily.

oo kk by anychance do you know what the box shes on is called because the photographer has to be under her

 

[who?]

Is it a box?

I assume a sheet of plexiglass on stands which get cloned out. Or at least that would be the cheap way to do it.

oo i see so say i bought a 2mm thick Solid Polycarbonate Sheet and balance it on feet it would work which is cool as it only costs £39.36 for a thick clear
2.050m x 1.250m sheet

Hmm, maybe a little thicker than 2mm?
Also, consider with todays cameras, you can do remote shooting and viewing, the camera needs to be under the 'glass', the person operating it doesn't.

I design glass for a living, i can let you know how thick it would need to be fora given size and load if you need.
