Today, Profoto is introducing a host of new softboxes to make light shaping easier and more versatile than ever, with the OCF Softbox 3’ Octa, the OCF Softbox 1×4’, and a host of exciting new accessories—many included with each softbox purchase.
As portrait, commercial, and wedding photographers can attest, light shaping is an essential tool in the world of imagery. It lets photographers create the light they need to perfect the final product, instead of working around natural light—or lack thereof. For instance, Softboxes, a Profoto specialty, are among the many tools needed to perfect these light-shaping strategies. And the brand’s new softboxes, the OCF Softbox 3’ Octa and the OCF Softbox 1×4’, further enhance Profoto’s roster of light-shaping essentials.
