How can I avoid this hotspot?

[AG_AM]

Hello I'm new to this forum and I wanted to ask some of you professionals or non if I can get help with this photo and the hot spot in the middle. Here is what I'm using :

Canon R6 Mark II

Canon 28-70 F2.0

Godox DP 800 III Strobes

Godox 14"x63" Strip Softbox Bowens Mount

Strobe 1/32 power

F10 ISO 400 Shutter 100

Door is about 6 feet from strobes

You probably should move the lights farther out to the side. Angle of incidence = angle of reflection.

It’s a reflection. Door is acting like a mirror. Move your lights.

 

[A-Marc]

what the others gentlemen already said.

if you have the space move your lights.

if you dont have the space to move your lights, turn both of them towards the camera position.

Have you tried to use a circular polarizer?

It looks like there is something behind you, like a large window or a white wall, that you need to cover with some black velvet or black paper, for example - to help prevent it from reflecting on the door.
