Softboxes

Softboxesare perhaps the most used diffusion tool in the industry. The softbox is a large box that fits on the front of the lighting instrument and diffuses the light in a very specific direction. It provides a great way to turn a 6-inch light with a very hard beam into a 24-inch light with a soft, diffused beam. This is ideal for people, because it softens and evens out skin tones. Directors also use softboxes when lighting shiny surfaces, so the reflected light sources aren't just little spots of light. By adding softboxes to your lighting gear, you double the use of your lights because they can now be either soft or hard lights. Shop Markertek for all your lighting needs!
