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.

Poly Board White Large
A large, rigid panel made from white foam core or similar material, used to reflect light. Lightweight and easy to position around the set.
Why it’s used: Bounces light back onto the subject to fill in shadows, soften contrast, and create a more even, flattering illumination.

Project Intro
The goal of this setup is to create beauty lighting that feels contemporary and edgy, with a playful touch that adds character and energy to the images.
STEP 1
- Set up an 8×8 frame overhead with bleached muslin fabric as your “ceiling” to softly bounce light around the set.
- Position five white polyboards around the perimeter (as shown in the 3D render) to further reflect light evenly and lift unwanted shadows.
STEP 2
- Mount a Profoto ProHead with Magnum reflector at the height of the models head on the left, aiming it sideways at her face for a rather dramatic look.
- This placement also bounces light into the set, which the white polyboards then spread to fill shadows.
- Start at Power 6.0 and tweak as needed.
STEP 3
- Mount a Profoto 2×3 Softbox behind the camera, angled directly at the model to lift remaining shadows.
- Start at Power 3.0 and tweak to suit your scene.
STEP 4
- Mount a Profoto Snoot reflector on a ProHead and aim it at your backdrop for a playful accent. Just for fun and however you like it!
- Start at Power 6.0 and tweak to taste.
- Camera Settings: 1/160 s, f/11, ISO 160 – adjust for your environment.
