hey everyone it's rob from highpop and
welcome back to another video
in this one we're in studio today
because we're going to be comparing
lighting modifiers and the different
shapes that they'll produce
so for a comparison we'll be keeping the
light in the same location which is 45
degrees pointing towards the subject
and also the model in the same location
so that way we can actually compare the
different effects
that the light produces
for our first lighting modifier we're
using the godox 80 by 120 centimeter
softbox
it's a rectangle softbox and it's one
that you have to assemble
it offers a squarish catch light in the
subject's eyes
and also has a clearer edge with the
light drop off
compared to round softboxes or octagon
softboxes
rectangle softboxes are ideal for
lighting head to toe
perfect for portrait shoots with a model
or for e-commerce stores
shooting with mannequins
[Music]
the next lighting modifier that we'll be
looking at is the 360 centimeter by 150
centimeter
diffuser sheet we've doubled this up on
a c-stand here
so we can actually mimic natural
daylight because it offers a wider
spread of light
in a wider area it's perfect to be used
in fashion photography
and portrait photography because it
offers a less obvious
light drop-off and also reduces shadows
in this scenario we've actually got the
ad600 pro with a reflector behind the
actual diffuser sheet
so we can light up the entire studio
[Music]
space
the next lighting modifier we're looking
at is the godox 120 centimeter
octabox this particular lighting
modifier is round in shape
so that means it offers a round catch
light in your subject's eyes
it's also a collapsible softbox so it's
quick to set up and pack away
it's perfect to use in portraiture
photography and also fashion photography
because it offers a nice pleasing wrap
around effect
on your subject it also offers a wider
spread of light so that means there's a
little bit of a light drop off onto the
background so if you're wanting to light
the background
the octabox is perfect for you
the next one we're looking at is a
spectrum pro parabolic 120 centimeter
softbox
this particular softbox is circle in
shape so that means it offers a round
catch light in your subject's eyes
it's also a collapsible softbox so it's
quick to set up and pack away
it's perfect to be used in portrait
photography and also video so if you're
using this with a continuous light
it's ideal for that this particular
softbox is deeper in shape
so that means it offers a more subtle
light drop off compared to a rectangle
softbox
and it doesn't light the background as
much as an octa box
[Music]
the next one is the spectrum pro lantern
80 centimeter softbox
this unique lantern shaped softbox it's
not as directional as standard soft
boxes
and offers a wider spread of light in a
180 degree plane
it offers a round catch light in your
subject size and it's also collapsible
so that means it's quick to set up
and pack away it's perfect to use in
lighting multiple subjects so that means
you can use this in an interview
scenario
even with video and continuous lighting
[Music]
this next lighting modifier is quite
unique and that's the jinbei 50
centimeter
softball diffuser it's made from a hard
plastic diffused material
and it offers a round catch light in
your subject's eyes the light dispersion
is almost 360 degrees
so it's commonly used for baby
photography and children photography
it has a less obvious light drop-off so
it's perfect for lighting an entire
[Music]
scene
this next lighting modifier we're
looking at is the 80 centimeter
collapsible beauty dish softbox
it's round in shape so that means it
offers a round catch light in your
subject size
it's also collapsible which means it's
quick to set up and pack away
since it's not as deep as traditional
softboxes it offers a more harsher
direct light
this leads on to stronger highlights and
shadows to create a more dramatic effect
[Music]
this last modifier we're looking at is
the godox 43-inch diffuser umbrella
we've paired this up with a standard
flash reflector with the godox 8600 pro
it's still the cheapest modifier that
offers that round shape so that means a
round catch light in your subject's eyes
due to it being an open modifier that
means it's going to be a lot of light
spillage
and it's less directional not like a
softbox it's perfect for
travel work because it's lightweight
portable and compact
[Music]
so that was just our comparison of the
different types of lighting modifiers
