Using Diffusors
Most flash kits come standard with diffusion. The purpose of a diffusion is to evenly spread the light, like clouds do with sunlight on a cloudy day. Another benefit is the reduction of reflections on glass objects and on faces, which for example makes a person look sweaty. A softbox is the most common solution. It has a reflecting silver layer on the inside, which bundles the light before it is emitted forward through a diffuse. This make the best use of the available light. The main advantage of an umbrella diffuse is the little time it takes to set it up. This makes it ideal for a portable studio. Compared to a soft box, however, more light is scattered so the lighting efficiency is less optimal. This can be compensated by turning the flash’s power up, or re positioning it closer to the subject.
Using reflectors
Reflectors are one of the most widely used tools in studio photography You can use them to lighten up shadows, or to reflected a slightly colored light onto the subject. They come in various sizes and shapes, some are 5-in-1 or 7-in-1 with multiple colors you can choose from.
They also enable you to make the best use of available daylight, when you don’t want to use lighting equipment.

What’s the Test Button for?
If a flash doesn’t go off, there can be a number of reasons.
Perhaps the sync cable is not connected properly, the flashes are too far apart for the slave mode to work correctly, or the wireless trigger set receiver is set to a different channel than the sender.
The test button helps you in finding out what’s wrong.
