    摘要: A booth for photographing or inspecting a vehicle includes walls that bounding a planar stage, each of the walls has a first portion and a second portion, the first portion has a first length and extending up from the planar stage. A first end of the first portion forms a first obtuse angle with the planar stage inside the booth, the second portion has a second length and extending up from a second end of the first portion. A first end of the second portion forms a second obtuse angle with the second end of the first portion inside the booth. A platform is also suspended above the stage. A lighting source is positioned on the platform. The lighting source is configured to direct light toward the second portion of each of the walls.
