If you are shooting under a good bounce surface (white ceiling), then shape the reflector to allow some light to bounce off the ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOff-Camera Flash Photography\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the FlashBender v3 is shapeable you can also use it off-camera to modify your main, background, or hair light when shooting with multiple speedlights.  You can use a single FlashBender to modify light in different ways for different purposes.  The FlashBender reflector provides directional control over light from off-camera flashes. Attach the FlashBender reflector to your flash and shape its top and sides to direct light to where you want it, or to block it from where you do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReflector\/Gobo:  \u003c\/strong\u003eShape the FlashBender to control lens flare, light your subject without spilling light onto your background, or light your background without spilling light onto your subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSnoot:  \u003c\/strong\u003eShape the FlashBender into a snoot (tube) to create a circle of light.
