Jargon Buster: OffThe unique reverse fitting of the Octa gives the most even coverage of any softbox.
Lets look at 3 ways to use it!
1. As a huge softboxOcta gives an almost unbelievabley soft even light. The Octa is so big that by angling the light you can choose to light the background at the same time as the subject! In this example a white reflector has been used as a fill. Great for singles, full length and groups shots.

2. As a white backgroundA white background portrait with one light!
Two silver reflectors have been used to bounce the light from the Octa onto the subject. The Octa is almost 2m across so two or even three people could be photographed with this set-up.

3. As a RingflashIt’s got to be the simplest! Just stand right in front of the Octa and it gives the high fashion look of a Ringflash!
