How to use a softbox? These methods are worth trying

Rectangular softboxes are usually used as an auxiliary tool when shooting people, providing fill light, edge light and top light. Sometimes photographers use it as a key light when they don’t want the light to escape too much in the picture. The versatility of the rectangular softbox makes it a popular accessory in photographers’ lighting setups.

The COB light without a soft box is similar to sunlight, with a hard light texture and a large irradiation area. Therefore, the rectangular softbox can achieve directional and regional lighting while softening the light.

When using the NiceFoto rectangular softbox to give the main light to the characters, if you do not want to affect the background, you can also use it with a grille to further enhance the directivity of the light.




Combining a single light with a NiceFoto rectangular softbox can also light portraits. Arrange the COB video light + softbox directly above the portrait for top light, and then add two reflectors on the left and right front sides of the portrait, so that the facial light can be more even and harmonious through the reflection balance.




In addition to the rectangular softbox, NiceFoto also has a variety of other styles, all of which are pull-type spreaders. The integrated design of the chuck, support rod, and softbox cloth is convenient for spreader and storage, and the lighting efficiency is significantly improved!
