>>3321658Oh, and 1-2 smaller biggest-size-you-can-velcro-to-portable-flash diffusers are also a good idea.
For instance:

In the other other situations, you can and probably want to use the same octagons you can also use for the bigger studio strobe(s) - pic related is used for that; it'll allow you to buy less studio strobes and make do with the portable ones for now. All while not being completely reliant on unobstructed white walls to bounce flash off for diffusion.
