ABSTRACT:
Devices and methods are provided for redirecting or reflecting light from a camera's built-in flash unit. An exemplary device has a reflector member having a substantially planar surface, at least a portion of which is a reflective surface. A connecting member is provided that has a distal end portion and an opposing proximal end portion. The distal end portion can be attached to the reflector member and the proximal end portion can be configured for releasable mounting to a portion of the camera. The device can be operatively attached to the camera such that the reflector member is spaced from and opposes the flash and is configured to receive and reflect substantially all light produced from the flash.
