Cloud Dome is an American based firm, however to assist the UK photographer we have become the UK importers of Cloud Dome. We would like to welcome you to the site. It's a studio in a bag. This amazing equipment for Photography can enable you to take perfect photographs without the need for complicated studio lighting. The equipment replaces a tripod and holds the camera steady. The dome itself diffuses the light ensuring that the problem of "hot spots" particularly on shiny surfaces is avoided, If miniature photography is your hobby, business or merely a tool to develop your own website then browse these pages. You will find that the Cloud Dome holds the camera perfectly at the right focal length. This makes focussing with a shallow depth of field much easier.



Cloud Dome is ideal equipment for Digital Photography, as well as for conventional film cameras. Digital photography lends itself to rapid production of pictures for the web and indeed for sending to publishers. The Cloud Dome has many uses for miniature photography and close up photography. The photographing of small objects is simplified as the area in the centre of the dome is easily identified and thus the taking of a series of shots is simplified. Where the items are small, it is ideal for product photography removing the need for expensive photography lighting set-ups. The convenience and speed of operating using only ambient light brings a simplicity and convenience to the process. As you will see in the following pages it has even proved itself useful for forensic photography being extremely portable and reducing flare and hot spots from shiny objects. Forensic photography is an area where the portability and capability to work by ambient light really come into their own. Small or reflective items are easily covered by the dome and photographed quickly and efficiently without flare or hot spots.


Studio photography of small and medium sized objects often entails the use of expensive studio lighting. With the Cloud Dome perfect pictures can be taken using ambient light. The equipment is easily set up, portable and inexpensive. All you need can be carried in a single bag. The dome acts as a light diffuser and tripod ensuring that once the shot has been set up, a series of similar objects can be quickly photographed: ideal for product photography. The product is placed on the predetermined spot under the dome covered by the dome, which has the camera attached, the photograph is taken, then the dome can be lifted off and another product placed in position. It really is as quick and simple as that. For forensic purposes the reduction of flare and hot spots is important. Finger prints on objects such as CDs show up much more clearly when photographed by the dome.

The Cloud Dome could equally be referred to as the light dome as it replaces many of the uses of a light box. However it has the advantages of being portable, durable, simple to use, quick and efficient. The dome has been designed to be light and easily portable. The whole range of equipment can be fitted into a single bag for transport. This means that you are more likely to take the equipment with you.

No matter whether you use film or digital photography or if your interest is in product photography or forensic photography we are sure this "light dome" will be easier than wrestling with studio lighting.

So for simpler lighting of your photography we are sure this light diffuser will be the kit for you.

We hope the site proves useful and interesting to you.
