This is what I'm using for the photography area.
It's my dressing-table,
but it's a useful surface
for setting up for my overhead photos.
is fold up a single bed sheet,
and lay it over the mirror
and the table surface,
as shown here.
I use a sheet that is of a neutral type colour,
such as the beige, here.
It's dark enough to make a contrast
with the white of the paper of the subject
that I'm photographing.
If your subject was a dark colour,
you could use a lighter coloured sheet / piece of
fabric to contrast with it,
if you wanted to and you're including that in your photo.
which are two desk lamps,
at either end of the table surface.
And place the subject to be
photographed
in the middle.
Then I turn the lamps on and
shine them onto the subject
to get the best illumination,
without it being too bright
and getting a reflection.
It took a little bit of trial and error
to get the right positions
that produce a good image
on my camera.
One lamp is also noticeably brighter
than the other one,
so I shone it to one side of the subject
and not onto it,
as I did with the other one,
as you can see above.
