How a Camera Flash Diffuser Works

Spread the Light:

• There isn't a lot of mystery to how flash diffusers work. They simply diffuse or spread the available light over a larger plane to decrease the harsh shadows that are caused by direct lighting. This can be done by redirecting the light to a larger plane, using flash umbrellas that will bounce light around a curved, light surface or attaching professional or homemade diffusers to your flash

Supplemental Versus Integral:

• Handheld flash devices may come equipped with diffusing shields that can help soften the light. Because they tend to be either expensive or relatively ineffectual, some photographers prefer to create their own using opaque white plastic milk cartons, pill bottles or even cardboard cigarette packages to cover their in-camera flash. This provides a larger surface for the light particles to bounce around on, and because the area of surface increases, the lighting becomes diffused and the shadows are softer

Think Large:

• Professional photographers can spend hundreds of dollars for giant umbrella-style diffusers that accomplish a similar effect to what can be achieved with just a little ingenuity and tape. By manipulating a flash bounce so that it takes advantage of a nearby wall or light-colored reflector, you can diffuse the flash you have to create soft shadows and better balance

How to Use a Flash Diffuser?

A flash diffuser is a device that is placed between the flash unit and the photo subject to decrease the effects of a direct flash. Often, a direct flash will leave sharp shadow lines around the subject's edge and create a flat image. A diffuser softens the flash by randomizing the rays of light it produces. The result is a softer image, which creates smoother shadows and gradients. Some flash units have built-in diffusers, but many on-the-spot diffusers can be created from everyday materials

Instructions:

• Locate your flash unit's built-in flash diffuser plate by looking for a small pull-tab directly above the flash bulb area. If one is present, pull it outward and lay it on top of your flash
• Place a semi-transparent material over your flash if one is not built in. You can use many types of materials, such as bubble wrap, white grocery bags or a see-through plastic lid. Different diffusions are created by the degree of transparency and the texture of the material
• Turn on the flash and connect it with your camera. Aim the camera at the subject and take the photo. The flash diffuser will spread out and flatten the light produced
• Inspect the image produced and adjust the diffuser to increase or decrease the amount of light or the area where it falls
