V-Flat
A V-flat is a large, easily foldable board that plays a vital role in controlling light on a photography set. It achieves this by either reflecting or obstructing the light.
In product photography, V-flats are instrumental for creating soft shadows or eradicating undesirable light spill.
Pro Tip
Because they fold, V-flats are easy to move and store, making them practical for adjusting lighting on set.
Use Cases
Use V-flats when you need to bounce light to soften shadows or block stray light that causes unwanted spill on a subject.
