DIY Lightbox


DIY Lightbox

I had been searching for a softbox for a long time that would sit on my flashgun and be as mobile as I needed. Relying on power sources isn't what I need to worry about when I'm out on location.

So after I made my Ring Flash, this just seemed just obvious to take out an old shoe box and cover the inside with al-foil and cover with a white pillow case. The results have been great.

To the right is an example of it used on location.

Because I have a wireless flash gun, I held it in my left hand over the models to get that contrasty lighting. Really simple and effective tool to have in the boot of the car on location.
