Abstract

A light modifier is disclosed that is intended to be used primarily for photographic purposes. The light modifier is used in conjunction with a light source to provide various types of diffused light for photographic purposes. The light modifier includes an inflatable structure having a translucent panel and a reflective panel. A passageway is connected to the inflatable structure and the passageway is in communication with the interior of the inflatable structure. The passageway is disposed for supplying a fluid under pressure to the interior of the inflatable structure. At least one closeable opening is positioned in the inflatable structure to provide access to the interior of the light modifier. A light source can be mounted in the interior of the light modifier. The light source can be aimed directly at the translucent panel or first reflected off the reflective panel to diffuse the light even more before it passes through the translucent panel. Also disclosed is a method for modifying light by positioning a light source inside of an inflatable light modifier. The light modifier has a translucent panel and a reflective panel. Air under pressure is supplied to inflate the light modifier. Air is exhausted from the light modifier through a vent hole to maintain airflow through the light modifier to cool the interior of the light modifier.
