Most definately Adam. I use mine for everything from portraits to macros.

A brollie should be softer because it is basically a larger light source. A white brollie will be softer than a silver brollile, but the latter will reflect more light.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.
