I recently did a photoshoot with Jolie Nguyen in the studio where we shot directly into a giant octobox, when what I really wanted was a circle. But, it’s pretty easy to change an octobox into a round circle in Photoshop, so I put this little video together to show you how I do it.
There are probably other ways, but this is how I do it. Making sure hands, etc. were inside the light area also made it super simple.
