What is a "snoot"?

A snoot is a lighting accessory used in photography to focus and direct light into a narrow beam. It is typically a tube or cone-shaped attachment that fits onto a flash or studio light. The snoot allows for precise control over the light's direction and shape, creating a spotlight effect that highlights specific areas or subjects while keeping the surrounding areas dark. This tool is useful for adding dramatic lighting effects or emphasizing particular details in a photograph.
