Abstract: Provided are embodiments of portable devices that, when used with a digital camera device, e.g., mobile phone camera, can capture a high quality photograph of a printed photograph or a document, thereby reducing or eliminating reliance on expensive, bulky electrical equipment for post-processing or editing to correct lighting, reflection, and cropping. The device can include a box that can be made of cardboard; can be collapsed flat; can easily fit in a book bag, a brief case, or similar carrier; and is easy to ship. The device also could be fully assembled or molded of plastic, while still maintaining the function as a mobile studio.
