Profoto Magnum Reflector
A high-output hard light modifier that boosts a flash head’s efficiency, delivering a bright, focused beam with smooth fall-off.
Why it’s used: Increases light intensity while maintaining quality, making it ideal for long-distance lighting, simulating sunlight, or adding crisp, punchy highlights in fashion and beauty work.

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.

Poly Board Black Large
A large, rigid panel made from black foam core or similar material, used to block or absorb light. Typically lightweight but sturdy enough for repeated use on set.
Why it’s used: Reduces light spill, deepens shadows, and increases contrast by preventing unwanted reflections. Commonly used in pairs to create controlled, moody lighting setups.

Floppy Flag
A larger black flag with an extra hinged flap of fabric that can be unfolded to double its size. Mounted on a stand or grip arm for flexible light control.
Why it’s used: Offers the same light-blocking function as a standard flag but with extra coverage when needed, making it ideal for blocking strong light sources or creating large shadow areas on set.

Project Intro
The goal is to create ultra-soft, even light perfect for contemporary fashion campaigns, lookbooks and collection shoots. Let’s dive in!
STEP 1
- Rig a 20×20 frame overhead (or 12×12 if your space is smaller) and stretch Ultrabounce fabric across it.
- Use this as your “ceiling” to knock down and soften all top light.
STEP 2
- Mount four Profoto Deep White umbrellas on ProHeads (or two if the studio space is tight) to evenly blast the background.
- Begin at power 6.0 and tweak to suit your studio and mood.
- Flag each with a large black polyboard and/or black flags behind to block spill and isolate these lights from the set.
STEP 3
- Mount four Profoto ProHeads with Magnum Reflectors per the 3D render, aiming each into the Ultrabounce “ceiling” to flood the set with soft, bounced light (two heads work if space is tight).
- Start at power 7.0 and tweak to suit your environment.
- Flag each side of the model with two black polyboards to block spill and add contrast.
STEP 4
- Mount a Profoto 5″ Octabox RFI at camera-right per the 3D render for optional side light and facial direction.
- Angle it to graze the model’s features for subtle sculpting.
- Start at power 3.0 and tweak to taste.
- Camera settings: 1/160, f7.1, ISO 160.
