Mask still life photography

Soft box and wide mask have their own uses, both of which are suitable for taking portraits and still life.

Soft box is softer: suitable for taking high-profile photos of children and lesbians, as well as subjects with smooth surfaces.

Wide surface with hard light: it is suitable for showing the elderly, highlighting their vicissitudes, showing the theme of rough surface, and also suitable for showing the theme of strength or masculinity.

So both kinds of lights need to be equipped. Generally speaking, there must be at least a mask with a width of 1, and even the top-grade lamps are equipped in complete sets. If three lamps are equipped with three soft boxes, a mask with a width of 1 and a condenser cover with a width of 1 can be added, which can basically meet most of the light consumption requirements.
