Profoto Zoom Reflector
A versatile hard light modifier for Profoto flash heads, featuring an adjustable zoom function to change the beam spread from wide to focused.
Why it’s used: Provides crisp, punchy light with controllable spread, making it suitable for everything from general illumination to accent lighting in both studio and location work.

Profoto RFI Softbox Octa 5"(150cm)
A large, 150 cm octagonal softbox that produces broad, soft, and even illumination with natural-looking round catchlights. Compatible with Profoto flashes via the RFi speedring.
Why it’s used: Ideal for full-body fashion, group portraits, or beauty work where a flattering, wraparound light and gentle shadow transitions are essential.

Grid Cloth
A durable, reinforced fabric with an embedded grid pattern, available in various densities from full to half-stop diffusion. Often mounted on frames or used as large overheads.
Why it’s used: Softens and spreads light while maintaining directional control, making it ideal for creating smooth, even illumination without excessive light spill.

Ultrabounce
A durable, reversible fabric with a bright white side for reflecting light and a black side for blocking it. Commonly used on large frames or butterflies.
Why it’s used: The white side bounces soft, even light onto the subject, while the black side absorbs light to increase contrast, offering two light-control options in one tool.

Project Intro
For this one we were shooting the iconic DeLorean car best known from the movie “Back To The Future”. The goal of this setup is to create a nice, even light all around the set and the car. Let`s jump in!
STEP 1
- Set up a 12×12 frame with Ultrabounce fabric overhead as your “ceiling,” then position 8×8 frames with fabric on both the left and right sides of the car and model.
- Mount two Profoto ProHeads with Zoom Reflectors—one left, one right—and aim each up at the diffused ceiling to create an even, wraparound glow.
- Use small black floppy flags (as shown in the 3D rendering) to block any unwanted direct spill.
- Start both lights at Power 8.0 and tweak to taste.
STEP 2
- Mount a Profoto ProHead with Zoom Reflector on the far left, aiming it at the white cove/backdrop.
- Let the light bounce into the background to lift shadows and add fill.
- Start at Power 6.0 and tweak as needed.
STEP 3
- Mount a Profoto 5″ Octa RFI on a ProHead to camera-right, angled at about 45° toward the model.
- This soft directional light adds contrast and gentle modeling across her face and body.
- Start at Power 7.0 and tweak to taste.
- Camera Settings: 1/160 s, f/8, ISO 125.
