Stripbox Gives Glamourous Portrait

This tutorial shows how to use a very narrow softbox, called strip box to create glamorous images of your models in a studio setup. Strip boxes, being slim, can direct the light the way you want. A panel reflector is also used to fill in the shadows, and the model is photographed on the white background, close to the wall.

If you experiment with your hand by placing it in front of a strip box, you will notice how the shadows and light are changing when you are moving your head to and from the center of the strip box. So you should use the light from the soft box to stress the volume (shadows) of your model and not to make her look flat.
