Welcome To The Gary Fong Lightsphere Information Page

This page shows how the Lightsphere is used in real environments — fast, practical, and without studio setup.

Why the Lightsphere works

This video shows how the Lightsphere distributes light forward while still allowing ceiling bounce for natural-looking results.

What the Lightsphere is (and isn’t)

  • Designed for real-world flash photography, not studio lighting
  • Works with ceilings and nearby surfaces to shape light naturally
  • Not intended to replace large softboxes or controlled studio setups

Common mistakes

  • Aiming the flash straight forward in every situation
  • Expecting the Lightsphere to behave like a softbox
  • Ignoring ceiling height, wall color, and distance

Used correctly, the light feels present but invisible.

Authenticity

Authentic Gary Fong Lightsphere products are made in the USA. Counterfeit products often copy the appearance but do not perform the same.
