Photography Reflector and Diffuser Fabric Screens

SPARKLING-SUN (25)

A distinct feature of the Sparkling-Sun is that it creates hard light, enabling it to throw stunning and concise shadows. It is known for its ability to scoop up light and redirect it over long distances, e.g. to illuminate the trunk of a tree below an enormous treetop. Do not confuse this with only Gold without a neutral color component. Pure Gold should be used only when heavy cloud cover in a winter sky lets through just the blue parts of sunlight.

* Depending on the distance between the reflector and the model. Law of physics: A reflector acts as an independent light source. The light decreases by square of the distance. (At twice the distance, the reflector illuminates about 4x the area – so the amount of light is divided by four.)

SILVER (10)

Silver is ideal e.g. at sunset, when the red parts of the light dominate or when the photography should be completely colorless.

3D RIP-STOP SILVER (210T)

The rip-stop design of this material makes it highly resistant to tearing, even in very stormy weather. Note: Very strong reflection. Good for light transmission over long distances, e.g. to illuminate the trunk of a tree under an enormous treetop. The light fall-off is hard.

1/5 Stop Silk (01)

If sunlight or the light from a spotlight has to be subdued e.g. because it is too hard, this unique diffuser fabric could be your salvation. Similar materials have been used successfully in Hollywood for decades now. They are called “Silks” there and at one time were actually be made of silk. This Sunbounce Exclusive diffuser fabric is 140 cm wide, but can be expanded to any width (with seams).

* Depending on the distance between the diffuser and the model. Law of physics: A diffuser acts as an independent light source. The light decreases by square of the distance. *Light cannot be enhanced without a physical loss of light. How is the loss of light quantified? At Sunbounce we measure applying the only truly conclusive method: Directly behind the fabric, since the fabric causes a new light source.

1/3 Stop Silk (05)

If sunlight or the light from a spotlight has to be subdued e.g. because it is too hard, this unique diffuser fabric could be your salvation. Similar materials – but with unsightly seams (shadow lines) – have been used successfully for many decades in Hollywood. They are referred to there as “Silks” and used to actually be made of silk.

Sunbounce offers this Sunbounce-Exclusive diffuser fabric in a single piece up to 500 cm wide and 50 meters long. This means that transmitted light in this area does not cast a shadow over 250 m². The unique quality complies with DIN 4102 B1 and is difficult to ignite.

3/3 Stop Silk (57)

You can use the light as is, or you can use it as basic illumination, adding other light sources to create light and shadow. The Translucent -3/3rd f:Stop is popular as a front and intermediate diffuser for all light boxes. Because the vast seamless areas are good for bouncing and reflecting, the -3/3tel Sunbounce diffuser fabric is a favorite for automobile photography.

LE-LOUCHE (051-LL)

The Sunbounce Le-Louche netting and fabric combination and the way it is processed are unique to the field. Hollywood has been using the so-called cuculoris for many years. It is a sheet of metal with a certain pattern sawed out of it, e.g. to cast a shadow from the spotlight such that it looks like light and shadow would appear under a tree. But the metal panels have a limited size. They are usually no bigger than 100 x 100 cm. With sunlight, the concept works only for small objects. The standardized pattern is defined by the cut-outs, so it can easily be recognized as artificial. A separate cuculoris has to be created for each pattern. The Sunbounce Le-Louche system for structured shadows applies a completely different concept and meets just about any requirements.

Sunbounce’s Le-Louche system allows you to create unique combinations of light and shadow – even with different focal planes.

The Sunbounce Le-Louche system consists of a two-layer shell made of special, very fine yet sturdy mesh (absorbs only about 1/3 of the light through the aperture per layer). The shell can hold all kinds of materials used to create effects, like leaves, bits of paper or fabric, and thin cloth. Nothing blows away or slips out of place. Large openings along the edge allow you to easily reach in and arrange the items to create the structured light that you want. The different levels of the shell and the filling (including 3D items) result in a completely natural light-shadow transition without sharp edges. For example, you could create the sense of filming under trees in Tuscany. And you can do it on a barren beach or in a studio. The original Le-Louche includes a clear foil with leaves printed on it.

To prevent the arrangements from slipping when wind or other movement occurs, the creation can be secured to the two mesh layers with a commercial tag gun and plastic anchors. You are familiar with these because it is the same thing used to attach the price tag to your new shirt. To change the pattern, just cut the fine fasteners and create a new design. The tag gun and the proper fasteners are available as accessories from SUNBOUNCE.

BOBBINETTE BLACK (343N)

The Bobbinette is a proven classic consisting of innumerable ultra-fine hexagonal holes that reduce and soften the light without changing the color temperature. It is also used in **double or **triple layers. It is available from Sunbounce in any width up to 610 cm / 20 feet. The material is woven into cotton.

**NOTE:

• If multiple layers are not positioned properly, the result will be an unintentional moiré pattern!
• Always dry properly to prevent mildew.

NO MOIRÈ BLACK (042NC)

The exclusive Sunbounce No Moiré Black is made of an extremely fine (0.5 mm holes) sturdy elastic polyamide fabric, so it dries quickly. The threads are thinner than human hair. In an out-of-focus area it is completely invisible, making it a good choice for darkening a background. It can easily be used as a double layer and is available from Sunbounce in any width up to 610 cm / 20 feet.
