<p>thnx</p>

<p>I'm not into speedlites, and can't help you with that,<br />but the box is clearly a Chimera ( <a href="http://www.chimeralighting.com/">http://www.chimeralighting.com/</a> )<br />and the model is holding some type of Tri-Flector,<br />although it does look a bit DIY-ish,<br />and MIGHT be just a "duo-flector" ;-)</p>

<p>I wonder how the photographer correctly positions this reflector without a modeling light ? Does the "model-hand" do the trick ? (he, he...).<br>

I would have used a LumeDyne head with modeling light, and ROUND softbox ! </p>

<p>the reflector looks like foamboard or coroplast w/ crumpled tin foil attached.</p>

<p>there are a number of small flash sized softboxes available</p>

<p>Looks like there might also be something like a sto-fen diffuser mounted on the flash head as well.</p>

True ! I missed that the first time around ;-)<br>

An extra internal diifuser inside the Chimera box,<br>

would most likely have been a better choice :-o</p>
