Xlite 90x120cm Recta Softbox + Grid & Mask - Profoto

Xlite Pro Recta softboxes are the most widely used shape of all softboxes. The rectangular aspect ratio creates unique versatility, while the long, straight edges of the box allow users to feather the light on to, or away from their subject. These softboxes can be used in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, depending on the photographers’ needs. In the vertical orientation, the longer edge of the softbox enables the user to create evenly-lit headshots, half-body portraits and (depending on the size) even full-length portraits, with the ability to feather the light. When used horizontally, rectangular softboxes are great for head shots and half-body portraits, as they offer an even greater range for feathering the light onto the subject. This creates a soft gradient from the highlight side, down to the shadow side of your subjects’ face. As with square softboxes, rectangular softboxes are commonly used in still-life and product photography due to the linear catch light.
