What is the difference between a diffuser and a softbox?

A diffuser spreads the light across a larger area, thus resulting in a lower average flash power across the entire frame. A softbox keeps the light largely directional. The subject still gets the majority of the light, but with a softer gradation from highlights to shadows.

Do I need softbox?

A soft-box is a versatile option because it can be used as a key, fill or background light which makes it perfect for studio shoots. A smaller soft-box creates a more dramatic look whereas a medium to large sized diffuser will disperse more of the light’s direction.
