Abstract: A photographic lighting apparatus (100) comprising a plurality of panels (101), each panel (101) being separated from adjacent panels on each side by flexible webs (102) such that the panels and webs define a wall of an enclosure (100), and a removable strut (117) associated with each web for maintaining the panels in mutually fixed relation, the enclosure having an opening (103) at a proximal end adapted to be mounted to a light source with proximal edges of at least some of the panels being weight-bearing members for the apparatus, and a distal end of the enclosure (104) being adapted to transmit light therefrom.
