TOOLS
Equipment List
Profoto Air Remote
A wireless transmitter that mounts on the camera’s hot shoe to control Profoto lights remotely. Supports TTL, manual power adjustment, and high-speed sync. Why it’s used: Enables precise, cable-free control of flash settings from the camera position, streamlining workflow and allowing quick lighting adjustments during a shoot.

Profoto Extension Cable
A heavy-duty cable that extends the distance between a Profoto generator and its flash head. Designed to handle high power loads without loss of performance.
Why it’s used: Provides flexibility in light placement on large sets or challenging locations, allowing equipment to be positioned safely and creatively without being limited by generator proximity.

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.

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
This fashion editorial was shot in Amsterdam for NYLON Magazine Germany. The goal of this setup is to create a contemporary soft, even and natural light with almost no shadows visible.
STEP 1
- Rig a 12×12 frame overhead with diffusion fabric as your “ceiling”
- Mount four Profoto ProHeads with Zoom reflectors – two behind and two in the front – aimed up at the fabric so the light bounces back for an ultra-soft wrap(see 3D rendering)
- Start all four lights at Power 6.0 and adjust to your space and taste.
STEP 2
- Position an 8×8 frame with diffusion fabric behind the camera, aimed straight at the model.
- Mount a Profoto ProHead with Zoom reflector behind this frame to fill remaining shadows.
- Start at Power 3.0 and tweak as needed.
- Camera Settings: 1/160 s, f/6.3, ISO 100
