Donut-Shaped Diffusers

The RoundFlash Soft Box Works Like a Charm

— October 29, 2011 — Tech
The RoundFlash Soft Box takes the traditional box shape of this professional photography tool and gives it a doughnut facelift. The device attaches right to the front of the camera, providing an even light distribution over whatever the photographer happens to be shooting.

The RoundFlash Soft Box eliminates shadows and creates a soft, halo-like effect around models and products. It also takes it a step further by eliminating the telltale darkened halo that accompanies the lighter halo effect when a ring-flash is used. The RoundFlash Soft Box is also cheaper than the regular ring-flash used on most cameras.

For any photographer looking to enhance their picture-taking skills, this device is the perfect companion for capturing amazing pictures with every click.

1. Donut-shaped Diffusers - The trend towards unique shapes for traditional photography tools creates an opportunity for designers to innovate new and novel designs.
