Level 1 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

Members at Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) have built a large table with seamless backdrop and lighting to use for product photography.

By large, we mean the surface is a full 4'x8' sheet of plywood, and the height of the backdrop is about 4'x8', also.

The Photography Area at PPM is for all our members to use without any additional required training (Level 1).
