## Caption

Creative lighting is what endlessly fuels my work, and any time a new tool promises more creative control I have to get my hands on it! 
In this video, I experiment with the Profoto Softbox Mask, a specialty tool that swaps out the traditional diffusion on a softbox to create a black void/mask behind your subject. This allows the light to wrap around the edges for a dramatic rim light effect. While traditionally used for product photography, in this shoot I create a futuristic fashion look.  
Throughout the behind the scenes I'll walk you through the full setup of this bold, graphic fashion shot built with just two strobes. You'll see how I place a Profoto 5-foot Octa with the Softbox Mask directly behind my subject to create that circle of rim light, then bring in a bare strobe with a saturated blue gel as my main light for hard light and specular highlights. 
I'll also show you how changing your subject's distance from the softbox controls how much the light wraps around them, giving you precise creative control over the final look.

💡 Lighting
1. Main light: Profoto Pro D3 as a bare strobe (no modifier) camera left with a saturated blue gel (Rosco) for hard light and specular highlights
2. Background light: Profoto 5-foot Octa with the Softbox Mask placed directly behind the subject to create a black 'void' and wrapping rim light
