"softbox"的定义和意义

What is a "softbox"?

A softbox is a lighting accessory used in photography to create soft, even light. It consists of a box-like structure with a translucent front panel that diffuses the light from a flash or continuous light source. The softbox spreads the light over a larger area, reducing harsh shadows and minimizing glare, resulting in a smooth and flattering illumination. It is commonly used in portrait and product photography to achieve a more natural and controlled lighting effect.
