Spice Up Your Lighting with the Profoto WideZoom Reflector

The Profoto WideZoom Reflector has much in common with the popular Magnum Reflector, but is capable of creating a much wider and strikingly even light spread. For this reason it is often used to create a perfectly even background illumination.
But what many forget is that the WideZoom Reflector's light spread can be zoomed from 40° to 80° (by simply sliding the reflector on the lamp head.) This opens up a world of creative possibilities to shape the light.
"If you know the properties of your Light Shaping Tools, bend the rules and spice up your lighting," says photographer Andrea Belluso.

Quality work. Thanks.

[@pscully1969]

Great explanation of what the hard light with a wide reflector was doing; much punchier than the soft light for beauty shots.

Thanks for the tips Andrea. Very interesting to see the results from the wide zoom reflector with the grid. It has more contrasty but still flattering look compared to a beauty dish. Beautiful fall off but still very crisp hilights. On the last shot with model laying down, would you use an umbrella to bring up the shadows softly? Thank you.

Amazing work as usual. Love watching all your videos Andrea! If I had to have one reflector to go along my with my Octa to use with my B1 kit. Would you pick the Magnum over the wide zoom. Thank you in advance!

[@ts13a141]

Was the grid used solely to control fall-off?

[@haffordj]

Lovely video.Thank you for the knowledge. But please you guys. JUST please. we have other musical instruments and genres you know? I've seen documentaries of 1990s that use the same music as soon as the word "India" turns up.

[@Ajayajay-nr2qj]

Exactly....I was searching for someone to comment on this...that music made me laugh...

[@AndreaBellusoOfficial]
