Photography Hack

For a beginner photographer wanting to take their work to the next level, one of the main factors that separates their amateur work from professional photography is the quality of the lighting. There are, of course, higher-quality flashes, but these can get very expensive, setting you back quite a bit just for a little extra light. Don’t fear, aluminum is here.

Take a piece of cardboard and wrap it with a few layers of aluminum foil. This board can be used to focus all of the ambient light in an area toward the main subject of the photo. This provides more light, and helps to produce a beautiful image. Using material worth only a couple dollars, you can take your photography to the next level.
