The Lastolite HiLite 1.8 x 2.15 m Shaper is a practical lighting control accessory designed for use with the HiLite backdrop system. This 86 cm wide opaque black panel hangs on the front of the HiLite and is used to mask and shape the light emitted from the backdrop. By limiting the spread of light, it enables photographers to achieve more precise lighting effects and reduce unwanted spill.
The shaper can be adjusted along the aluminum rod, allowing it to be positioned at different points across the backdrop. This flexibility enables the creation of various lighting styles, such as a single vertical strip of light or two separated light strips on either side of the subject. These options give photographers creative control over highlights, shadows, and subject separation, making it especially useful for portrait and fashion photography.
Constructed for compatibility with the HiLite 1.8 x 2.15 m backdrop system, the shaper is lightweight and easy to install. It provides an effective way to modify the backdrop’s lighting output without requiring additional complex equipment, enhancing both efficiency and creative possibilities in studio setups.
