Abstract
An illumination frame attaches to a laptop computer, computer notebook, table or other communications device having a camera. The frame has a series of light arrays that illuminate an object placed before the camera so that it is more easily and clearly viewed. The arrays provide lighting from many different angles. The lights include diffuse lenses to soften the light applied of an object being viewed.
