The inexpensive and extremely versatile Westfoam is a must have
tool for any photographer. It can be used in a variety of
shooting scenarios, and compared to professional solutions is a
very cheap alternative. Create cookies (Cucoloris), where you cut
shapes out of the Westfoam, then shine your lights through the
shapes at the subject to create interesting light patterns as a
background for your subject, or just use an A1 sheet as the main
background for your subject. Westfoam can also be used as a fill
light source, which will reflect the light source back on the
scene, in return filling in any excess shadows on the subject
while not having to adjust the contrast. Another good use in
photography is as a light bounce source. a white sheet of
Westfoam above the subject. Now bounce your lights straight at
the Westfoam which will “bounce” back onto the subject as a soft
or “diffused” light.
