What’s the difference between a stripbox and an octabox? Will light from a rectangular softbox look any different from light from a round one, and does using the “wrong” one really matter? This studio portrait session will tackle all these questions and focus more on softbox shapes. In this live-streamed photo session, Gavin Hoey tries out three of his favorite softbox shapes, which he regularly uses in his small home studio. He’ll set up different portrait lighting to help explain when he might choose one shape over another and discuss some pros and cons of using different-shaped softboxes. As always, Gavin will squeeze as many real-world hints, tips, and lighting tricks into an hour as possible. Join the conversation, get your questions answered live, and help steer the session… or watch along and enjoy.
