On Lighting in Portrait Photography

The flash lamp assembly consists of a modeling lamp and a flash lamp tube. Soft light box refers to the external box of this kind of flashlight, which helps to filter strong light into soft light and plays the role of soft light. The bulb that can be simply twisted by hand in the middle is the modeling lamp, which, like other tungsten filament bulbs, plays the role of general lighting, and also helps to brighten the light and facilitate focusing. The lamp tube with a circle of steel wire tied to the side is a flash tube, which plays the role of flash. The bright light comes out, so you can't look directly at it with your eyes.

If two soft boxes are used together, they should also flash, and only the modeling lighting is not enough to shoot. You can turn off the flash and try it yourself. As for taking indoor portraits, the amount of light input depends on personal habits, and the second is that the requirements for shooting effects are different. Single lamp, string lamp, three lamps (one of which is naked) or more are used. This is inconclusive.
