Can be used with hot lights in its HR version.

Not only did it replace these light shapers, but it also added something unique to some of my pictures, something I couldn’t get with my other light shapers. When I used it in my studio, it replaced my deep octas, beauty dishes, and deep umbrellas in most scenarios. This may sound expensive at first, but as I said above, the para is an incredibly versatile light shaper, and it could just as well replace different ones you already own.

On this base, you can add the universal adapter for $383.10, a Profoto adapter for $408.60, as well as different diffusers or a grid ranging from $270 up to $850.

It wouldn’t be exactly delighting to break it on the first day of use.Įlinchrom Quadra Pro Head mounted on the Para Universal Adapter Priceīroncolor Para 88 is priced at $3,273.20 or $3,578.90 for the HR version, both with the focusing rod, tilt head, and rolling case. Just be sure to check out with your Broncolor dealer that your strobes aren’t too heavy for the focusing system. So if you are looking at the para in lust but don’t have Broncolor strobes, it’s not an excuse not to buy one. It could actually be your way in the system. Something such as a Profoto D1, B1, or B2 won’t work exceptionally well for example.

The only thing your flash must have to truly take full advantage of the para design is a non-recessed flash tube. I’ve put my trusty Elinchrom ELB400 with the universal adapter, and if you have a Profoto strobe, it’s even easier to mount with the dedicated ring. You don’t have to worry about breaking the glass of a fresnel, it only weighs around 12 pounds and is super portable, it’s even more versatile, and it’s around the same price as some fresnels such as the Elinchrom one.Īn important fact regarding the para is that you can fit any flash on it. In plain and simple words, this light shaper could be comparable to a fresnel spot on steroids. Because of this decreased power, the reflection of the light, although bigger, will be greatly reduced because the power is less.Portrait shot with the Para 88 fully zoomed, placed at about 5-6 feet from the model's to the camera's right

If we were to bring the same light closer to the model, we would need to decrease the power of the light to achieve the same exposure. This higher power will result in a brighter (yet smaller) reflection in the eye because the light source itself is brighter. Here, it is the light source itself that is reflected.įor example, if we were photographing a model with the light placed further away, a higher power will be needed to achieve the correct exposure.

While diffused reflections (such as on skin) will change according to the inverse square law, the same does not apply for directed reflections. This is because of the effect the light has on directed reflections (for example, eyes or glasses) and diffused reflections (for example, matte skin, wood, matte plastic).īy changing the distance of the light from your subject, these reflections will each be affected differently.

It will also impact the reflection in gloss surfaces (including eyes or glasses). How far away the light is from your subject will influence things like hardness or softness of the light.
