Been playing around with my new photo box. It helps so much on taking macro photos.

It may be a taste thing but when I shoot against black background I prefer to edit out in PP and I think it would improve on what are great shots.

If you are doing insects its a taste thing to keep some colour in the background as if you photograph at night we use small printed screens for the extra colour. Otherwise its black and textureless which gives a laboratory feel.

Can you give us some details on your photo box please.

I bought this off E-bay. It's pretty neat actually. It goes together in just a few minutes. It came with 4 different colored backgrounds, 2 spot lights, and a decent mini tripod. It works great for cutting any reflection while taking macro shots.

Understand that completely, just my preference for a still life against a black background
