Thanks for the shoutout! I've been using the EGOs for all my food shots on the blog and for the cookbook and it's been a lifesaver since the winter months were so dark by 5pm. But, spring brings more light! Can't wait to start using natural lighting again. -Jaden Hey L!

So far i had always shot with natural light but i just got a job where i might need extra lights. A friend gave me a photoflex small softbox with a stand, but I am not sure if this kind of light is best to shoot food. would you be kind to tell me if you have any experience or recommendation using softboxes vs your umbrella setup or the lowel tabletop light? thank you so much!! here is the link if you want to view it; http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/223097-REG/Photoflex_FVSLKITXS1_Starlite_Digital_1_Light.html lara, i love your blog! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and finds!
