Design and construction of a Mirror Booth made of plywood lined with Padauk veneer and solid timber tripod. The construction was designed and implemented according to the specifications provided by the photographer. The body of the Mirror Booth is cylindrical and it is made of flexible plywood, which provides the capability to create its circular form. It is plated with padauk veneer, an exotic African timber variety. The mirror used is specially machined based on clear specifications as requested so as to allows the interface of the screen mounted from the back to be seen in order to carry out the operation of the Mirror Booth. For functionality purposes, a special film has been applied on the mirror that converts both the glass and the screen into a touch screen. Inside the cylinder, a special study has been carried out in order to fit in the camera, the screen, the computer and all the electronic installation such as fans, power supply etc. on the appropriate mounts. At the bottom of the box a specially designed base has been placed for the tripod socket, while the top yields a hole for the external flash. Finally, as for the closing of the box, it is of a hatbox type, with a cap placed inside the box, while two leather handles have been placed for opening. As for the tripod, it is made of hard solid wood. A study has been carried out so that the height of the tripod can be adjusted by means of the arms that have been fitted. Moreover, the connection of the tripod elements has been made with bronze elements. The tripod has been imbued with water-based paint in the shade of black, in order to create a contrast with the strong natural colour of the box's wood veneer. The body of the Mirror Booth can also be covered with veneer imbued in blue.
