Large Softbox in a Small Home Studio | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

Описание к видео Large Softbox in a Small Home Studio | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

The bigger your light source, the softer the shadows, and when it comes to portrait photography, soft-edged shadows are more often than not the look that sells the shot. Softboxes don’t come much bigger than a 7-foot umbrella with a diffusing cover attached but using in such a large light modifier in a small home studio is quite a challenge.

In this video, photographer Gavin Hoey uses the 7’ Westcott umbrella to create three different looks. Starting with the goal of achieving a soft but evenly illuminated portrait, Gavin shares some helpful hints on the right way and the wrong way to use a softbox that’s as big as his subject.

Next Gavin changes the light position so it’s a large overhead light source and creates some beautifully lit portraits from a single flash. Finally, Gavin moves the 7’ softbox to the side to feather the light and give the large light source some controllable direction.
