Large softbox or not? I have a portrait studio in my home where I shoot everything from maternity, babies, kids, teens and sometimes large families. I am currently using two small softboxes for my main and fill lighting with two strobes for my highkey background when needed. I am considering purchasing a large softbox (54x72) which I know will be great for familes and full length shots, but will it work for a baby or small child? I have seen pictures of studio set-ups with a large softbox and a reflector for the main lighting and smaller softboxes for the background and hair. I just don't know how well it works. Any advice is appreciated.

Personally I always recommend a 3 light system when teaching, this is recommended as the best Main, fill and back. I use a huge oxtagon on my Main, and a Parobolic reflector on my fill( I learned to love that for dramatic lighting a LONG time ago and still love it today) I have two backlights for high key if needed with full reflectors and diffuseres. In corprate studios where I still teach, they use 2 small 20 inch softboxes and 1 backlight with diffuer and do mostly babies and small children. I do hope this helps, Debby
