    Diffusers/skrims are my jam. The bigger the better. I have a 40"x60" diffuser that fits perfectly into a westward facing window in my house. This combo creates the most dreamy window light almost every day from about 5:30-6:30pm. I try to always fit in some window light shots when I have a shoot in the afternoon. Diffused window + white reflector = super high quality light fast and easy.
