Welcome to the world of Profoto’s Strip Softbox.
The Profoto Softbox RFi 1x4' (30 x 120cm) Strip Softbox is more than just a softbox, is is a must-have Profoto Light Shaping Tool.
A strip softbox is a long and narrow softbox which produces flattering, soft-shadowed light which can be used for product and portrait photography. Because the light is narrow, it can be aimed more effectively casting light only where you want it.
Here are a few ways to use Profoto’s strip softbox:
Portraiture
It can be used vertically to illuminate a head or half length of an individual accentuating detail. You can also use it horizontally, to illuminate a group of individual faces.
Rim Light
The Profoto Strip Softbox is the perfect tool for backlighting to bring out the edge or rim when shooting a dark wardrobe against a dark background.
Hair lights
Your subject has great freedom of lateral movement, with head and shoulders remaining consistently lit from the first frame to last. Meaning you get beautiful hair lights.
Sweep lights
Used to top-light objects on a table or sweep, the strip light, because of its narrower throw, will tend not to light the sweep's back splash, making it the preferred tool for producing fade-to-black backgrounds with tabletop subjects.
Profoto’s Strip Softbox will most often be used to create rim lights that effectively separate the subject from the background. They are also favoured by product photographers requiring a long and narrow reflection with soft edges. In addition, they are a great asset when you are shooting in a confined area. The Profoto Softbox RFi 1x3’ (30 x 120cm) works in conjunction with Profoto’s flash heads and monolights*.
