DIY Portable V-flat for Photography: Professional, Easy, & Inexpensive

This is the BEST METHOD to make double-sided black and white v-flats without painting to take your photography to the next level. As a bonus, I show you how to make your own carrying bag to easily transport and protect your v-flats.

I searched high and low for easy-to-find supplies to make these v-flats for a fraction of the cost of v-flats you can purchase online. This is my favorite method and I’m excited to share it with the world. If you find this video helpful, please consider leaving a Super Thanks by clicking the Thanks button under the video. Your small tip will help me continue making free photography videos to share with you :)
