Matthews 8x8' White 1/4 Stop Silk Butterfly/Overhead Fabric

When it comes to professional photography or videography, the 8x8' White 1/4 Stop Silk Butterfly/Overhead Fabric by Matthews is an essential tool for creating the perfect lighting conditions. This luxurious and elegant fabric has been meticulously tested in a black chamber with an incandescent light source, ensuring its ability to provide optimal light diffusion for your shoots.

This 8x8' silk fabric, measuring approximately 7'8"x 7'8", is designed to be positioned 2/3 of the way between your light source and digital light meter. This strategic placement allows it to effectively soften and evenly distribute light, creating a smooth, sleek backdrop for your shots. Whether you're shooting portraits, product photography, or any scene requiring a clean, uncluttered background, this fabric delivers exceptional results.

Matthews offers a range of silk types, including Artificial Silk, China Silk, and 1/4 Stop Silk, in both white and black. This particular product features 1/4 Stop Silk, which offers about 0.6 stops light loss, making it an excellent choice for medium diffusion at varying degrees. Unlike its counterparts, the White Artificial Silk that provides the most diffusion with a light loss of 1.6 stops and significant ambient bounce, the 1/4 Stop Silk strikes a balance between light diffusion and loss.

In terms of safety, each silk type has different characteristics, but all are designed with the professional photographer or videographer in mind. Choose the 8x8' White 1/4 Stop Silk Butterfly/Overhead Fabric for a reliable, high-quality solution to your lighting needs.
