The master of contrast and shadow control.
While most reflectors are designed to add light, the Black/White version is the professional’s secret for “shaping” light by taking it away. This dual-sided tool is essential for controlling contrast and adding definition in both studio and natural light environments.
White Side (Soft Fill): Reflects a clean, neutral, and incredibly soft light. It’s perfect for filling in shadows on a face without changing the color temperature or creating a secondary “hard” light source.
Black Side (Negative Fill): Used to “flag” or absorb light. By placing the black side near your subject, you prevent light from bouncing back into the shadows. This creates deeper blacks, more dramatic “moody” lighting, and better facial definition—essential for high-end cinematography and portraiture.
Ergonomic Handles: Unlike generic “hoop” reflectors, Profoto features two sturdy, comfortable handles. This allows an assistant to hold the reflector steady in the wind or the photographer to manipulate the light with one hand.
High-End Fabric: The heavy-duty frame and high-quality fabric ensure the reflector stays flat and doesn’t “wobble,” providing a consistent, predictable light or shadow.
Which Size to Choose?
Medium (M) – 80cm – Headshots & Beauty: Perfect for close-up portraits and product photography. Compact enough to fit in a standard gear bag and easy to hold solo.
Large (L) – 120cm – Full Body & Large Groups: The industry standard. Provides a large enough surface to create negative fill for three-quarter or full-length fashion shots.
