How to Make a Cheap Flash Diffuser

A diffuser is often used in photography to make light appear less harsh and more even. It is placed in front of the flash for the light to shoot through. Using a diffuser can make artificial light look more natural, as well as softening shadows and highlights for a more flattering look. Purchasing a professional diffuser from a photo shop can be expensive. However, there are significantly cheaper homemade versions that can do the job just as well.

Instructions

1

Measure out a piece of the ripstop nylon large enough to place over your flash.

2

Carefully cut the nylon to the correct size.

3

Set the nylon face down and place strips of stick-on Velcro along the left and right sides.

4

Apply stick-on Velcro strips to the left and right sides of your flash.

5

Stick the diffuser to the flash.
