This video looks at a basic set up to photograph a diorama indoors.  The easiest thing to do is to take a diorama outside to a location with a great suitable backdrop but that's not always possible.  If you need to take a photo inside then this is the set up I use to do that.  Sometimes I use my video lights which are constantly on but flash can be cooler in temperature which is no bad thing in the middle of summer.

It's simple enough - two flashes to either front side of the diorama and then one above just to add the directional light you would actually get in a jungle.

Materials

Camera - Any camera with basic manual settings and flash will do
Flashes - I have three cheap speedlites - OR any standard light such as desk lamps
Diffusion so that they are not too harsh
Wireless or wired triggers so that they flash together
