BEST BUDGET SOFTBOX - WATCH VIDEO FOR FULL REVIEW
hey everyone, I am taking a look at this Neewer 32" softbox. It is primarily used for photography purposes but currently I am using it with my LED and you can see how it diffuses light throughout my face. There are three things that comes with this, and one is the umbrella itself, the diffusion panel on the top and there is a carrying bag which is very useful since the whole package is very lightweight and it is helpful if you want to use it on different locations. Now there are few things you need to start working with this kit. First is of-course a light stand, preferably with a boom stand; we’ll talk about that in a moment. And the second thing is a flash bracket, which will hold your umbrella and your flash to the light stand. Also, you need a wireless flash trigger on your camera, so you can use this on the distance. You can trigger it using the camera flash inside the studio since your flash will bounce around the walls but you will need them outdoors or for the accurate results. Also the construction of the umbrella itself is pretty strong at this price point, the overall installation time could be less than a minute and you can carry this around open unless its windy. One of the reason, I said it needs a boom pole is because you have to pass your light stand to pass through this zipper and you cannot tilt it once it is set. Connecting it to pole will allow you to tilt it towards your subject. Let’s take a couple of sample images and see how much it diffuses the light. First I have this square object and as you can see this is how it looks without flash, this is how it looks with silver lining and this is once you put the white cover on. So first, I am going to use it with flash directly toward the subject and you can see all the shadows on one side. This is how it looks once I turn my flash around and light will bounce just from the silver lining. And finally this is the final diffusion you get once you put the white diffusion paper on. Hope this help you, this is one of the best way to enter and try flash photography because people mis concept flash just because they don’t use proper diffusion and it's a very small light source and looks harsh on the subject. Definitely give it a try, if you have any question let me know in the comment section below and as always thanks for watching.
