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.

Bleached Muslin
A tightly woven, white cotton fabric treated to remove natural color, resulting in a neutral white tone. Often mounted on frames as a diffusion or bounce surface.
Why it’s used: Softens and diffuses light with a natural, even quality, or reflects a clean, neutral light onto the subject — ideal for achieving a gentle, organic look on set.

Project Intro
The goal of this setup is to sculpt ultra-soft, cloud-like light that leaves virtually no shadows and can be used for a variety of shoots. Let’s dive in!
STEP 1
- Rig a 12×12 frame overhead and stretch Bleached Muslin across it as a “ceiling.”
- Mount two Profoto ProHeads with Zoom Reflectors on either side of the frame.
- Aim each head into the muslin so light bounces down for ultra-soft fill.
- Start at power 6.0 and tweak until the glow feels just right.
STEP 2
- Mount two Profoto White Medium umbrellas at the back, angled as shown in the 3D render to softly light the backdrop.
- Flag each with a black polyboard behind to block unwanted spill.
- Begin at power 4.0, then tweak down if highlights begin to burn out.
- Keep power moderate to avoid over-brightening the background.
STEP 3
- Position an 8×8 frame with Grid Cloth behind the camera, per the render.
- Mount a Profoto ProHead with Zoom Reflector behind you, aiming into the Grid Cloth to softly fill shadows.
- Start at power 4.0 and tweak until the overall light wraps gently.
- Shot with a super wide-angle lens 16–35 mm at 1/160 s, ƒ/9, ISO 200—adjust to your gear and taste.
