Two side shade pieces (120A, 120B) are attached to the top shade piece (70) and are adjustable in angle to the top piece (70) and in lateral distance therefrom for fitting a variety of camera lens widths. A hinge means (140) is formed in the top shade piece (70) and side shade pieces (120A, 120B) for angle adjustment, whereby each piece can be adjusted independently to obtain a desired lighting effect. A visor (210) extends forward from the top shade piece (70), and rear screening sections (240) extend rearward from the side shade pieces (120A, 120B) to further control the light entering the camera lens (25).
