How to use flash to generate more natural light?

1 Set-top box soft cover box: light and easy to carry, good light supplement effect, soft light, light supplement area is proportional to the size and distance of soft cover, which can kill the flash of reflective shovel and bare lamp (and soap box). Hanging on the ceiling lamp can play a basic light supplement effect, and the effect is better with the lamp holder. Reflective umbrella: a sharp weapon for portrait at night, with no obvious shortcomings except the inconvenience of carrying. Reflective umbrella is a panacea for portraits at night. 3. Reflective shovel: large-size overhead reflector, suitable for lamps without their own reflectors, and places where other equipment such as exhibitions are difficult to fill the light. 4. Honeycomb: With different color films, you can shoot different effects. One beam effect can shoot different effects with a single lamp. When multiple lamps are combined together, it can shoot modeling light, but it is not necessary in portrait work.

Experience: The most commonly used equipment for my solo night portrait is an umbrella in Yi Deng. Although it is troublesome, the shooting effect is really good. I have also used a soft light box on the top of the machine, hot boots on the top of the machine, and single light to shoot portraits at night. By controlling zoom and output, acceptable results can be obtained, but this light has great limitations because it comes from the front. It is ok to shoot sugar water. I will use two lights and an umbrella, or a combination of three lights and an umbrella, and occasionally add one.
