Using your phone as a softbox

Photo by J.Baumung for Photojojo

To create a touch of light on a subject you want to photograph, use your phone!  It won’t light up the whole setup, but it does create that cozy and mysterious effect on photographs.  Don’t you love it on portraits?

Use a cell phone, a game boy, or a laptop screen to softly light a face, hand, or anything that needs a bit of extra attention.

Works great in long exposures (think light painting), or when the light’s just fading away at twilight.

I sure want to try it, but I still have to find my tripod!  I meant John’s tripod .
