New York City, NY—Similar to the PowerSnoot, Gary Fong’s Lightsphere Collapsible Snoot is designed to give photographers maximum efficiency and directional control over strobe lighting when mounted off-camera, allowing them to create “fashion style” special effects.
The black finish of the Lightsphere Collapsible Snoot blocks the light spilled out of the sides of the diffuser so instead of filing a room with soft light, the photographer can project the light directly onto the subject with a controlled yet soft burst that is “great for hair highlighting, selective lighting of subjects or highlighting a subject against a busy background,” according to a company spokesperson. In short, the Lightsphere Collapsible Snoot allows users to focus light into the areas they want to highlight and away from the areas they don’t. The Lightsphere Collapsible Snoot sold with or without the PowerGrid: MAP $49.95/$59.95.
Colored Dome Kit. Targeted at photographers looking to elevate their creativity and gain accuracy, the Colored Dome kit includes a red, blue and green dome for creating special effects as well as a Gray Dome for white balancing.
The domes snap into place and are compatible with the Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal and the Lightsphere Collapsible. The red, blue and green domes can be used on an off-camera auxiliary flash to paint the sky a dramatic color or to add dimension and flare to an otherwise flat background. Photographers already using the Lightsphere Collapsible Colored Gel kit will have an exponential amount of creative allowances by either adding two like colors to deepen the chosen hue or by mixing and matching colors to achieve secondary colors, such as purple.
