Softboxes

There are 1129 products.

A softbox is a type of lighting equipment used in photography and videography to diffuse and soften the light from a flash or continuous light source. It typically consists of a box or rectangular frame with a diffuser panel on one end, and a mounting system for attaching the light source on the other end. The diffuser panel scatters the light, creating a softer, more even illumination on the subject. Softboxes come in various sizes and shapes and can be used to create a variety of lighting effects.

When to use softbox lighting?

Softbox lighting is usually used when you want to create a soft, even light on your subject. This type of lighting can be used in a variety of photography and videography, such as portrait photography, product photography, and video interviews.

In portrait photography, a softbox can be used to create a flattering, natural light on the subject's face. This is achieved by pointing the softbox towards the subject and placing it at an angle towards the face. The diffused light of the softbox helps to reduce sharp shadows and create more pleasant, even lighting.
In product photography, a softbox can be used to create a clean, evenly lit product image. This is important so that the product looks as good as possible and shows its properties.
In video interviews, softbox lighting can be used to create natural, professionally expressive lighting on the subject's face. This helps the subject look their best and makes the video more visually pleasing.

How do softboxes and umbrellas differ from each other?

Softboxes and umbrellas are commonly used as diffusers in photography and videography, but they have some differences in the quality and direction of the light they create.

Softboxes are great for getting natural, even lighting and are ideal for situations where you want good control over the light and when you want to avoid harsh shadows.
An umbrella is a circular or parabolic-shaped diffuser that is attached to the light source with a rod. Umbrellas diffuse light and create a softer, more even light on the subject, but they are less directional than softboxes. Umbrellas are easy to set up and shoot and are more portable than softboxes. They're great for creating soft, broad light that's good for portraits and another general-purpose lighting.
