What's the difference? Soft boxes, parabolic modifiers & umbrella shootout! Which one for portraits?
Finding the perfect portrait modifier.
Over the last 20 or so years, I have acquired about 20 different softboxes, but I have never actually sat down and tested them out in the studio, one at at a time, to determine the quality of light produced by each modifier when shooting portraits. To learn how I use all of my soft boxes, please check out this video: https://youtu.be/k92rw0japLg
A few weeks ago I shared with you a test I conducted with five large modifiers to see if parabolic style soft boxes were more directional than regular soft boxes and umbrellas (https://youtu.be/Mo011YJ3PtU), the answer was yes, slightly. So today's video will follow-up and examine the light quality differences between the modifiers.
After watching the video I would love to hear how you plan on using your modifiers in the future.
