    In his book, Small Scale Photography, Charles mentions in passing
    that professionals use an 8-12 foot box, place the seamless paper
    inside, light overhead.  He has a sketch as well. 

    Unfortunately, that set up is not the topic of his book, he just
    mentions it and moves on to the system described in the book. 

    What is unclear is: 

    * is there only a light overhead, or are there lights on the sides
    too? * is the box solid all around?  or are the sides made of
    something translucent? 

Does anyone know?  Has anyone seen this kind of set up?

thanks,
~Elaine
