How to Fold a Photo Diffuser?

Published in Photo Lighting 1 min read

A photo diffuser, particularly a rectangular reflector or modifier type, can be folded down for storage by following a specific motion that collapses its frame.

According to the provided reference video, the process involves a particular technique:

  1. Start: Hold the diffuser in a specific starting position ("so it's like this").
  2. Action: Move the frame in a particular direction ("then go forward").
  3. Result: The diffuser frame will collapse and fold down ("And it will fold down just like that").

Once folded, the diffuser is ready to be placed into its storage bag. This method is described as the way to fold a rectangular reflector flash diffuser/modifier as demonstrated in the video from 0:50.

This specific folding technique allows the larger, rigid frame of the diffuser to twist and collapse into a smaller, more manageable size for portability.
