I used torches with colour gels tied to them, first tightly then just placed on top. The first ones meant the colour only showed as little dots, and the second are the end few where the red covers almost the whole thing. When I take the final images I am going to try tie-ing them a bit looser so I get something inbetween. I also used one main lamp without a gel to illuminate the tent, which worked well and made it look translucent. I also need to focus on the rest of the body a bit more too; the hands work well but the back, shoulders and side of the body would create interesting shapes. I'm also going to try other colours too, I have yellow, green, blue, red and pink.

Light Tent Light Test
For one of my projects I need to take one colour print, one black and white fibre based print and one digital print. I am planning on using a medium format hasselblad camera for the colour one, but did a lighting test with a Nikon D50 first. These were the best pictures it came out with:
