Re: Home Made Softbox
Benji, the pupils in the eyes of your subject are so huge. How dim was the model lamp on your strobe head?
As Doug said, I too can't imagine that the front screen is evenly lit when the flash head is centered in the middle and positioned so very close to the fabric.
Silks are great lighting tools because the distance from the flash head to the silk can be varied and only a portion of the silk can be used when a choice of less softness is desired.
An interesting quality to the light can also be achieved by using double diffusion, ie: two silks with some distance between them, between the light source and the subject.
But frames and silks are hard to position in anything other than a vertical orientation. Softboxes, even very large ones are usually easier to use.
