Softbox
A softbox scatters light, producing gentle shadows and balanced illumination. It acts as a shield against harsh lighting that can mar the appearance of products or models.
A key instrument in the lighting toolkit, the softbox is indispensable in e-commerce photography and is often considered alongside diffusers, strobes, and set design.
Pro Tip
Pair softboxes with diffusers or strobes and plan your set design to achieve balanced, soft lighting.
Use Cases
Commonly used in e-commerce shoots to reduce harsh lighting on products or models.
