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.

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.

Project Intro
The goal of this setup is to craft a soft, consistent base light that works across lookbook, fashion and editorial work. Let’s jump in!
STEP 1
- Rig a 12x12 frame overhead with Ultrabounce as the “ceiling”.
- Add an 8x8 frame with Grid Cloth on the right side (see the 3D render). Lamps to be added later
- Hang the Grid Cloth from a rod/crossbar on a High Roller and clamp it.
- Purpose: combine ceiling bounce with side fill for a smooth, even base.
STEP 2
- Bring in the key light and adjust that first: Profoto 5" Octabox at camera-right, angled ~45° toward the model.
- Use it as a soft, directional key.
- Start at power 7.0; adjust to your needs.
STEP 3
- Mount a Profoto ProHead with Zoom Reflector on the set’s left.
- Aim it up into the Ultrabounce “ceiling” to add bounced fill.
- Use a small black flag to block any direct spill onto the model.
- Start at power 5.0 and adjust to balance the shadows.
STEP 4
- Mount a second Profoto ProHead with Zoom Reflector.
- Aim it at a white wall (or white polyboards) to bounce soft fill back into the set.
- Start at power 3.0 and adjust to taste.
STEP 5
- Place a Profoto ProHead with Zoom Reflector behind the 8×8 Grid Cloth, aiming through it to further soften the overall wash.
- Start at power 3.0 and adjust to taste.
- Camera settings: 1/160 s, ƒ/7.1, ISO 160.
