I have a photography tip.
Buy old slide projectors whenever you see them in a garage sale or whatever.
They are a really good source of light.
And of a colour, that if you put a slide of a nice day in them, they project something that looks like a nice day.
So...
Natural light
Naturalish.
And really bright.
Really less bright, if you drop in a filter or a paper towel, or some coloured cellophane or whatever else you might want to use. They have a purpose built slot that was designed to take a small square of something, and shine its qualities onto something else.
Brilliant!
Or less brilliant.
Totally controllable!
Perfect!
$4 !
$2 if you haggle.
Dont haggle.
$4 is a good price.
They even have a focus dial.
Which is nice.
I guess.
120 Things in 20 years teaches that photography feels better if you give the slide projector guy the extra $2. It was the large flat screen TV of the 50s. He spent a lot on it.
