Photographer Ab Sesay shares 10 lighting setups in this video, in 10 minutes, that you can use for a portrait shoot with a huge softbox. In this video, Ab uses an Elinchrom Indirect LiteMotiv Square softbox measuring 145 by 145 centimetres.

With a large softbox, you can hardly go wrong. It quickly produces beautiful light for a portrait. In this video, Ab shows that you can also create some creative and useful lighting setups with such a large softbox.

This specific softbox is rather expensive at 1,339 euros, but the techniques work perfectly well with another softbox too. Often even when it is a size smaller.
