An easy, inexpensive lighting accessory, this collapsible 6x4ft black and white panel allows you to create a number of different effects with artificial light. Heighten or lessen shadows, bounce light back for a softer effect, or block a source of unwelcome stray light – the Lastolite panel allows you to do all this and more, making it a great tool to pair with a flashgun, LED or other type of lighting head.

Whatever discipline you’re shooting in, from portraits to architecture, being able to control your light is a critical component of taking your images to the next level. This Lastolite panel makes for a fantastic and cheap addition to your toolkit.
