Uses for Grid Cloths & Other Diffusion Fabrics

• Butterfly: This refers to diffusion fabric that stretches over a frame. A butterfly lights your subject or object specifically for high-end lighting scenes.
• Light Box: A light box comes in different sizes depending on its intended use. Photographers use them for photographing or recording product images (for e-commerce, for instance). This material is an ideal diffusion material!
• Softbox: A softbox is set to light direct positions. Soft boxes extend harsh, bright lights and make them soft lights for photographing small objects.
• Tenting: Tenting surrounds your subject or object with soft light. Therefore, some draping techniques remove all shadows from the subject.
