Photography Softboxes
Whether you use strobe lights or constant lights, a softbox is an essential piece of lighting gear. By minimizing hard shadows and creating a larger, more even lighting source, softboxes will flatter your subjects and improve your images.
Plenty of options for any application
From ball lantern softboxes to octoboxes and simple pop-up softboxes, there’s a perfect softbox for every lighting source and every subject. Let’s take a look at them.
Shapes and sizes
Softboxes come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and setups. Square and rectangular softboxes are the most common for illuminating a subject’s face or body evenly. Octagon and hexagon softboxes help when lighting much larger objects or groups of people.
Choose a beauty dish softbox for the smoothest, magazine-quality portraits. Or select a lantern softbox for an ultra-portable, unique, and multi-directional look.
Softboxes range in size from the very small 6”x6” speedlight style, to enormous 5’x15’ light bank softboxes used for automotive photography.
Compatibility is key
Find the perfect softbox for your equipment. Filter your search results by type of light, like strobe, continuous, or on-camera flash, or by the manufacturer of your gear.
Included features and accessories
Many softboxes make setting up your studio easier by including diffusers, grids, speed rings, mounts, and more. As you search for the ideal softbox, check the product listing for information about included accessories.
Softbox lighting kits
If you’re short on time or you want a quick, simple option for your lighting studio, check out softbox lighting kits. Kits make setting up a new photography studio a breeze. Better still, they ensure that all your gear will work well together. Many lighting kits come with multiple softboxes and accessories. Some even include the light, the mount and the stand.
All the best brands to suit a variety of budgets
Brands like ARRI, Chimera, Elinchrom, Hensel, and Godox are well known for a reason. They produce innovative, reliable, and durable products for a variety of uses. Whether you’re looking for a portable softbox and lighting set up, or a permanent studio kit, these and other Adorama favorites offer a range of softboxes and accessories to fit any budget.
