Softbox

A container that surrounds a flash or a continuous light source. The interiors are covered with a reflecting substance, and the square or round front screen is constructed of a white opaque material that softens and diffuses the light. As an alternative to umbrellas, softboxes are frequently utilized for the purpose of dispersing intense flash light. The front of a softbox can range in size from forty centimeters to two meters.
