Obsessed With Soft Light?
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of photography. The word photography is derived from the Greek works for light and write, so that may tell you how important it is. I believe lighting is photography; it defines the shot and sets the tone, it should invoke a feeling and inspire thought.
There are really no bad lighting techniques. You could easily say that on-camera flash should never be used; it creates harsh shadows and a flat look. Frankly it looks like a mug shot. What if you want your shot to look like mug shot?

These days everyone says you have to use a softbox and every photographer I see has a least one. But what exactly is a "soft" light and why is it required? Soft light is more about the effect of the light in images and not about the actual light source. A light is generally considered soft when there are no harsh shadows or sharp contrasts. This "soft" light effect can be created with a softbox or some other diffuser like an umbrella or a wall, but it could also be created by a light source much larger than the subject. Even a "harsh" light can appear soft in a picture if it is significantly larger than the subject. A softbox isn't always needed and you don't need to stick one on your light like it's a tripod, don't feel any piece of equipment is required other then the photographer and camera.
There are times when you want to present a dramatic statement with your photograph and you should consider all lighting ideas. How about direct flash, sunlight from behind the subject, light from below? Never? Most any new photographer will have learned that you should never do these things. I recall my teachers covered it very early, but have you tried it?
A silhouette done well can be impressive and I have seen some great shots with several speed lights hidden below the subject. Don't believe that you have to shoot any picture in a specific way. Don't get too hung up on the rules until you break them a few times. Go out and try different lighting and see what it can (and can't) do for you.
