Softbox: A Soft Box is a type of photography device and it is box that can be fit over the flash head.

The Soft Box may consist of the following

(a) It consist of enclosure around a bulb comprising reflective side and back walls and a diffusing material at the front of the light.

The Soft Box come in different sizes and the larger the soft box the softer the light will produce and The closer the soft box is to the subject, the harsher the light produced is.
