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.

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
Our goal with this setup is to establish a very soft, natural base light, enhanced by subtle accent effects that evoke purity and nature - perfectly tailored for beauty brands.
STEP 1
- Set up a 12×12 frame overhead with bleached muslin fabric, tilted at about 20° as your “ceiling.”
- Mount two Profoto ProHeads with Zoom Reflectors and aim both up at the fabric so the light bounces back for a soft, “cloudy day” wrap.
- Start each at Power 7.0 and tweak to suit your location.
STEP 2
- Mount another Profoto ProHead with Zoom Reflector and place it so it fires through real foliage or a cucoloris to cast leaf-like light patterns on your model(see 3D render)
- Position a black polyboard on the model’s right to deepen contrast.
- Start at Power 5.0 and tweak to taste.
STEP 3
- Mount a Profoto 2×3 Softbox at a low angle to fill in deeper shadows on your model.
- Start at Power 3.0 and tweak to taste.
- Position a Profoto ProHead with Zoom Reflector on your background to add subtle depth behind the scene.
- Start at Power 3.0 and adjust as needed.
- Camera Settings: 1/160 s, f/11, ISO 200.
