Aputure Space Light

I hung it from a light stand in my living room and the entire space was bathed in soft, even light—no harsh shadows anywhere. The fabric diffuses so well that I barely had to edit out hotspots in my video footage. Very happy with how natural everything looks now.

The fabric is surprisingly thin yet sturdy, so it folds flat into my kit bag without adding bulk. Hanging it from a boom arm took under a minute, and the omnidirectional fill killed the harsh shadows on my interview subject’s face instantly.

Once I hung it overhead, the light spread so evenly that shadows almost disappeared across the whole room. The fabric diffuses everything beautifully, and the Bowens mount clicked on without any fuss—exactly the soft ambient fill I was hoping for.
