Soft Lighting

Soft lighting is often used to capture women in fashion magazines, as it is constructed to make their skin seem bright and glowing. A 'soft box' and reflector is used to do this.

A soft box is a lighting device which involves a light covered by a sheet of fabric, which is used to diffuse the light towards a 'reflector.' There are two sides to a reflector:
  1. One side is shiny, and it warmly bounces the light from the soft box towards the subject.
  2. The other side is not shiny, and it will bounce the light towards the subject for a colder effect.
