Project Intro
The mission of this setup is to craft a luminous wrap around glow that’s as simple to rig as it is stunning—enveloping your subject in radiant light. Ready to get started? Let’s light it up!
STEP 1
  • Mount two Profoto ProHeads with Zoom Reflectors as shown in the 3D render, aiming them at your white V‑flats arranged(or create similar V shape with two white polys)
  • Push power to 7.0, blasting the background to pure white so light bounces back and wraps around the model.
  • Position two black polyboards to flag any stray spill from hitting your camera or set edges.
  • Tweak head power and V‑flat angle until the backdrop is fully blown out and provides the desired wrap‑around fill.
STEP 2
  • Set up a 6×6 frame and 6×6 grid cloth on your camera left. Mount a Profoto White Medium umbrella onto a ProHead right behind it.
  • Surround the frame with black polyboards to focus and prevent spill.
  • Use this as a subtle fill for face and body detail.
  • Start at power 4.0, then tweak to taste.
  • Suggested camera settings: 1/125 s, ƒ/6.3, ISO 160 (adjust as desired).
