Softboxes and reflectors

Softboxes and reflectors turn the harsh light of a flash or LED lamp into soft, even light, so portraits and products are free of hard shadows. You’ll find lantern and octagonal softboxes, flash diffusers, collapsible reflectors, an LED photo box and conical snoots for precisely directed light.

Softboxes and reflectors

LED lights with a quick-release mount take lantern and octagonal softboxes about 30 cm across. The lantern spreads light in every direction and suits vlogs, interviews and livestreams, while the octagon with a honeycomb grid keeps the light more focused. For an external flash, there are small collapsible softboxes and magnetic silicone diffusers.

To bounce light into shadows, use collapsible reflectors from 30 to 110 cm in diameter or oval 120 × 90 cm models. The 5-in-1 versions have a removable cover with several reflective surfaces and a translucent diffuser inside, and 7-in-1 versions add chroma key surfaces for video. Afterwards, you fold them into a small ring and pop them in the bag.

For product photos, an LED photo box is handy: a collapsible tent with a changeable backdrop that lights the object evenly from all sides. For the opposite effect, a sharp circle of light or a projected pattern, use conical snoots for studio lights with a 19° or 36° lens, stencils and colour filters.
