3. Cheap Flash Mounted Softbox: If you are a photographer and using flash (either for studio pictures or for outdoor shooting), you are probably aware of the problems that a hot-shoe flash introduces: the shadows of an object are crisp-sharp, creating an artificial look to the object. When dealing with studio lighting, you can use a softbox to diffuse your shadows and this is an acceptable solution, but for the amateur photographer it does have some disadvantages:1. A softbox is very expensive. A simple softbox like this softbox from Arri, can cost several hundreds of dollars. (See our big DIY softbox version) (via DIY Photography)
5. Make Your Own Fabric Backdrop: Want to take pictures that look clean and professional. Use this easy photo backdrop to enhance the quality of your photos. We have a paper photo sweep in the office, but since I make a lot of my projects at home I wanted a space where I could take nice pictures. This photography sweep is easy to set up and very affordable. Unlike our photo sweep in the office (frenzy made a great instructable on it see here), mine uses fabric instead of paper. I figured this would be more affordable because when the sweep gets dirty I can just throw it in the wash. (via Carleyy)

Sarnie bag makes pretty good effects for shooting portraits. I like using different colours when I can too.
