I was set on the great little 26” soft box as my Neewer point light mod. Really set. I liked Joe’s image, I like the form factor and I like the theory of it.
So, I tried it out on my wife.
“Too bright, too close”, and that was at 10%!
So, not phased, well not too phased to keep going, I decided to try my new squeeze, the mod I am determined to master, the 4’ reflected octa brolly.
A 2k video lift, G9 Natural style, -5 cont, -2 sharpness with a little brightening and colour added in post.
No comfort issues, no consciousness even of the proximity (1m), just broad, soft light.
Painterly.
