What this setup creates

A casual full body studio portrait of a woman with a soccer ball, lit with a large softbox and a bounced fill light.

Light placement

A large rectangular softbox acts as the key light placed on camera right, tilted down. One light angled towards a large white foam core board, which acts as the main light source. The subject is positioned facing the board.

How to build it

A large rectangular softbox acts as the key light, positioned above and slightly to the camera-left of the subject. An additional light bounces off a white foam core board for soft, even fill.
