softbox size for full length portraits

[lance70]

Hello.... what's a good softbox size for doing full length portraits? Thank you..

How big of a softbox can you get?

I actually have thought of making my own.

Big

No, Bigger

Even bigger.

I use 2, one above the other, to get a "tall" softbox for those purposes.

I'll generally use either my 50" square SB, or my 60" brolly-box for full body shots, but Buckster's 'stacking' idea works well too.

Basically you want a softbox as tall, or close to as tall as, what you're shooting.

There is a big advantage in stacking two of them; you can use them individually for something else.
