The Bowens Octo150 is a unique large soft
box which offers several unique features
that are particularly of advantage to
portrait photographers.
Unlike other large octagonal softboxes
available on the market, Bowens Octoboxes
feature a perfectly round front diffuser for
perfectly round catch lights, which are
cleaner and more pleasing than their multi-
sided counterparts.
Another difference is how your flash unit is
mounted inside the Octobox, facing the rear
- away from the subject. This offers two
distinct advantages over traditional
softboxes. Because there are no extra layers
of diffusion fabric between the light source
and the front diffuser, it is a remarkably
efficient softbox and can be used with a
relatively small flash, such as a Gemini 500.
The other significant advantage of this design
is the evenness of illumination on the front
cloth. The interior silver and white surfaces
have been designed to ensure optimum
evenness of light.
Because the light is so even, it can be used
close to the subject to produce maximum
softness as well as maximum light output.
Assembling the large Octo150 is easy.
Simply insert the support rods into the
adaptor ring then zip up the two side zips to
create the octobox. At last a big softbox that
can be assembled, and disassembled,
quickly and easily.
The Octo150 comes supplied with a travel
bag for easy transportation.

Just like its bigger counterpart the
Bowens Octo90 is a large octagonal
softbox designed to create a perfectly
round pool of beautiful soft, diffused light.
The 90cm (3’) diameter of the Octo90 makes
it ideal for smaller studios who need a big
beauty light but don’t have room for large
parabolic reflectors.
Thanks to the easy to assemble zip-up
design of the softbox and its small
disassembled size, the Octo90 is also perfect
for location work
The unique round diffuser creates
aesthetically pleasing catchlights making this
the perfect beauty softbox and the softness
and evenness of the light means the Octo90
can be used from large lighting setups to
close in to the subject with no loss in the
quality of light.
Because the flash unit is mounted facing the
rear of the softbox there is no hot-spot on the
front diffuser - the light is bounced from the
rear of the Octo90 to create a remarkably soft
and even light.
To assist with creating perfect skin tones in
beauty work and portraiture, the Octo90
comes supplied with two removeable inner
tone reflectors, one gold and the other silver
and gold - use in conjunction with the large
silver interior of the softbox for amazing skin
tones.
To assemble the Octo90, insert the support
rods into the adaptor ring, then zip-up the
side panels and secure in place with the
fastening tabs - fast and simple.
