Which light modifiers for the Profoto B1 ??

shek33

After I get my B1 which Profoto modifiers would you buy first??? I have shoot thru umbrellas so I am thinking softboxes or deep umbrellas or waht about the Octoboxes?????? I want these for bride and groom portraits(indoor and outdoor) headshots and I guess general portraits both inside and out. I also want to add a Westcott eyelighter for headshots.   Eventually I'd like to get a few modifiers but want to start with one or two Profoto....ty

Easily the Profoto 1x3 soft box. 

examples: 

1.  on-location headshots and promotional portraits

2.  progression of an idea in a photo session – cosplayer, Ger Tysk

3.  controlling off-camera flash for impact – gridded stripbox / soft box

ps do I need the grid??? and if you recommend the 1x3 is the 2x3 more versatile????

For this ... "I want these for bride and groom portraits(indoor and outdoor) headshots and I guess general portraits both inside and out." ... the 1x3 is large enough. Read the article on the headshots on location. I explain it there.

On location, you don't need the grid. It makes more sense in the studio where you are more specifically trying to control spill light.
