Lightbox, Camera, Action?

[YesterAirlines]

I am happy to admit I am not a very skilled photographer and, with the volume of model photos I take, I need a quick solution for decentish shots. I'm not looking to win any prizes, just be able to take a lot of passable photos in a short time for use at the site and as a record of my collection. With that in mind is a cheap lightbox a good solution? What do you think?

These new photos look great and are surely an improvement, but honestly I hadn't problems with the old blue background at all.

Personally I prefer the old blue background, it screams “YESTERDAY AIRLINES” when I see it though a move forwards to improve photos wouldn’t be too bad of a decision.

Yes this is one of my concerns with changing it that my brand is associated with the photo style I have been using. I'm still not convinced if I'll use the lightbox all the time but it certainly gives me options, especially for very white models.

How about setting up your known blue/white backdrop in this box? So you can keep your style but benefit from the boxes adverticed CRI95 when no natural light is available. A high CRI is key and 95 certainly is not bad.
Switch to other backdrops only when really needed maybe.
