Many of the photo shoot sets for the 6th Scale Stories are in my bookshelf. However, I use some temporary sets that I build up for a photo shoot and take down right after. I decided to use some leftover pieces to build an easily movable platform for doing this. The left wall is the top of a bathroom cabinet, the right wall is a couple of pieces from my bookshelf, and the floor is a piece of particle board (the longer piece) and a piece from my bookshelf.
The pieces are attached together with angle irons and the structure has wheels on two sides, so it can be turned to have a smaller floor and higher walls.
Here is one set ready for shooting photos. There is a separate piece of board on the floor to make it square as I did not have a suitable piece to add to the corner, so the actual structure's floor remains L-shaped. This set is one end of Twyla's (or her late grandfather's) study. The fireplace is embedded into the wall where the arched hole is, so it is fairly deep and has a small led light under pieces of wood for fire. The wallpapers are attached to pieces of cardboard, which in turn are attached to the walls with clamps.
Below is a final photo shot using this set (from Hitman Revisited). The idea is the same as in shooting movies, you crop the picture to leave out anything that tells you this is not a whole room. I've got another set of furniture for the other end of the study, and there's slight overlap in the middle to enforce the impression that it is one room. The carpet also gets turned 45 degrees to left when setting up the other end of the room.
