Well, I don't know if you can call me a "real photographer", but I can provide some general tips for lightboxes:
-You want a flush background. A single piece of posterboard or cardstock which is curved to fit the backdrop, while not being too tight, works best.
-Make sure you have light coming from every direction. That works to eliminate harsh shadows or a "halo" effect.
-Try to keep everything within a set frame. If you have portions of the lightbox's edges showing, then it looks rather unprofessional.
-Above all, you just want as much light of the same temperature as possible. And make sure to take the proper precautions if you're using something like tissue paper for soft light. Your first lightbox fire is not an experience to forget.
