How to Build a Photography Diffusion Panel

Diffusion panels are used by photographers to control lighting when shooting photographs. These diffusion panels are used to control the amount of white light used within a photo studio and to enhance the quality of the photographs taken. These panels are relatively simple to construct.

How to Build a Photography Diffusion Panel:

Step 1: Cut white fabric into a square of your preferred size. Trim any uneven edges so that the fabric will line up properly.

Step 2: Tape all edges of the white fabric using 1/2-inch duct tape.

Step 3: Install grommets in each corner of the white fabric.

Step 4: Cut 5/16 dowels into four pieces. These pieces should measure five inches long.

Step 5: Thread the dowels into each grommet.

Step 6: Remove the duct tape from all edges of the white fabric carefully.
