This was shot outside in natural sunlight. A black sheet draped over a picnic table with a mirror laying on the bench (don't need a box).



"THE BURN TOOL" in Photoshop!! -- Works wonders for black.



(Sorry so pixely -- this is really low-res. Best I could do to make it small enough for Kingsnake)





Sorry I don't have better help for the box, but what I was implying was maybe you could put in a black sheet or cloth into the box and pin it up. Cloth is totally matte and won't pick up flash, and the folds can easily be edited out (ie. the Burn Tool reference).



Another idea is to experiment with not using flash at all. Set up synthetic light, whether it be a lamp or spot light. Or use the outdoor sun like in the photo above. Hope this helps!!
