Building a Photography Diffusion Panel: Clamping Fabric

Video Transcript

"Ok kind of a nice thing about this, these clamps can hold your fabric really tight so if you're photographing something that's reflective you don't want wrinkles in your fabric. These particular clamps are sold through Photoplex, but you can actually make these, either one-sided or two-sided, just by cutting the same three quarter inch PVC down to like two or three inch size and then channeling out, and see where I've done it here, just cutting about a third of it out and then you can wrap your fabric around it, clip it on and it stays. These are really handy. The reason you will need the primer and the cement is if you want to take two of these and glue them together in the back so that you wind up with a piece that looks like this. One piece here and a second piece here. You glue them together. When you glue them just stick a couple of rubber bands around them, hold them together for a little while, and then you'll be able to attach two of these diffusion panels together. It's just that simple."
