This 57″ Indirect Litemotiv Square Softbox from Elinchrom is a favorite of portrait and product photographers. The large surface area offers excellent coverage of full length subjects as well as flattering wrap-around performance when used up close. The shape is almost custom-made for head and shoulders portraiture and small groups.

Called Indirect because of how its rear-firing design softens the light output, the Litemotiv Square boasts an edge to edge brightness without hotspots, yet can take the heat when it has to. The black-backed silver reflective material is rated for lamps up to 650W, and the unique folding system allows you to quickly break it down for transport or storage. Each Leitmotiv comes with both a front and interior diffuser, as well as a quality made carrying case.

The Litemotiv Square can be used with Elinchrom or Profoto flash heads with separate purchase of an adapter.
