Different Types of Softboxes | Ask David Bergman

Today's question from Allen B. is, "I'm just starting out with off-camera flashes and am looking at light modifiers. I know there are several different sizes of softboxes, as well as different shapes like rectangular and octa. How do I navigate through the options to find the best ones for me?"
