Do you need a soft umbrella for clapping?

No need for a soft umbrella at all! ! Or any soft light device! ! You just need to increase the distance between the flash and the model. Distance and light intensity are inversely proportional to the square. As long as the flash distance is doubled, the light intensity can be reduced to a quarter of the original. Meanwhile, the light will be much softer.

With the increase of distance, the level change of light source becomes softer and softer.

The background range of model shooting is usually very small, which is easy to ensure illumination and meet the demand of soft light.
