Matte box

Have you ever taken a picture and noticed the sun was really bright, making it hard to see the subject clearly? A matte box is like a big hat for the camera lens that helps block the sun's super bright rays and other unwanted light. Think of it like using your hand to make a shadow on your face on a sunny day. The matte box has special slots to hold different sized filters that can help improve the picture quality, and it can also be adjusted to move around and get the perfect shot!
