Optical Snoot« Back to Equipment

A versatile, creative lighting modifier

The optical snoot system is a firm favourite at the studio, limited only by the creativity of the person using it.

It can be used to project shapes / patterns from the included gobos (below) on to your subject, the background, or both.

Also included are 4 standard colour gel inserts; red, green, blue and yellow. Other gels can be attached.

The projected light can be focused to be perfectly crisp or de-focused for a more diffused effect, giving virtually unlimited possibilities.

Check out the gallery section at the bottom of this page (NSFW) for some great examples of the optical snoot in action - all shot at Trident Studio!
