All Profoto Softboxes feature a recessed front that accommodates a softgrid. The softgrid narrows the light spread to 50°, delivering more focused illumination and significantly reducing spill light. This enables you to shape the light with greater precision. By controlling light spread, a softgrid enhances contrast in your images, resulting in a moodier and more dramatic effect. Additionally, it is particularly effective in minimizing unwanted spill light, making it ideal for situations where you want to avoid lighting the background or nearby areas.
