A video demonstration of the technique where I use a simple piece of black foam to flag the light from my on-camera flash, to get studio quality light.

    Neil. I am getting into still photography now. I like the black foamy thing. What a great improvement and without having to purchase the light kit.

    I want to shoot head shots for my barber. He is creating a sort of catalog of his cutting styles. Any suggestions?

    Neil, my typical photo event is usually located in a large dark room with a high ceiling, no walls or dark colored walls. How can I use the back foamie device in this situation where every shot is different.
    Thanks
    Bob

    If there is nothing to bounce your flash off, then you have to adapt.

    We train people in shooting video with HDSLR's. Which video camera did you use to shoot "the black foamie thing"?
