Westcott 268 Educational PocketBox Kit (Black/Silver)
This Erin Manning PocketBox Educational Flash Softbox Kit from Wescott is designed to be used with any off-camera flash. The PocketBoxes set up in seconds, soften harsh light, and eliminate red eye. The kit provides three compact softboxes of different sizes and shapes to familiarize you with the light characteristics of each and how their reflections appear in the eyes of your subjects or other reflective objects.
Learn alongside Erin Manning on the included Educational DVD as she takes you on multiple photo shoots to explain the basics about on-camera and off-camera flash. Each lesson guides you step-by-step through camera operation, flash settings, posing, and capturing candid shots of your subjects. You’ll also see what can go wrong on a photo shoot and how to remedy the problem. If you’ve felt intimated by this equipment in the past, don’t worry! Erin’s down-to-earth teaching style makes everything easy to understand.
The softboxes include an ultra-reflective silver interior that maximizes light output, a removable inner diffusion panel that spreads light for a soft, even output, durable black backing that prevents spill light, and soft grip panels to help safely secure the PocketBox to a flash.
