Camera Flash & Light Diffusers

Video Transcript

"Another important tool for a photographer to have, whether working in the studio with artificial lights or out in the field with natural lights, is a diffuser or a bouncer. So you can see here my diffuser folds up pretty nicely, but then opens up to be much larger. So, as a diffuser, you would want to put this in between your light source and your subject. Thus, lessening the intensity of the light and creating a softer light on your subject. Another way to use this is as a bouncer, which is not going to be kicking people out of clubs, but it's going to be bouncing the light off of your main light source onto your subject. Again, this will add just a little bit of highlights when you might need it, especially useful outdoors. So, if you're taking a photograph of someone, and you want light on their face but you don't want to have them stare directly into the sun, you can use one of these to bounce the light from the sun onto your subject and get a quality image. So, again, a diffuser/bouncer great tool for whether you're in the studio or out in the field. They're lightweight and they do break down to a much smaller size so you're not always carrying around a giant thing like this. It's an important tool to have, so I encourage you to get one of these if you're serious about photography."
