Electromagnetic probes such as photons and dileptons (l+l−) are a unique tool to study the space-time evolution of the hot and dense matter created in heavy-ion collisions, since they are emitted at all stages of the collision with negligible final-state interactions. In this article, the latest results on soft photon (real and virtual) production in heavy-ion collisions are presented.
