I was looking for a special reflector that can be mounted on a camera. I did find some but they are pretty expensive and it was only for DSLR cameras. I found a pretty sweet DIY Camera Mounted reflector over at Tsuki Board. All you need for this little project is a Styrofoam plates, masking tape, pen, and a boxcutter.
This is pretty easy to make this reflector, just figure out the diameter of the lens and cut. After you're done cutting the hole, use the masking tape to hold plate reflector on the camera. 



If you can see in the pictures above, it does work very well. Since now that I'm using a light box, this helps a lot by removing unwanted shadows. So, do you find this tutorial helpful?

Well then I guess I'll have to try it! I asked abou flash because I couldn't figure out how that being on the camera helps unless there was flash.

Seems a good compromise solution to me. Anyway I doubt I can replicate it with my compact camera, loal. Uhm, can I ask you something regarding your "light box" setup? I haven't understood what did you used to cover the box at the top and at its sides, the light filter we can say... Do you think tracing paper will work as well?
Sorry for the bad english. XD

tracing paper does not work very well as the white linen as a filter

Ok, thanks for the drift. I'll try it as soon as possible. ^^
