Description

Introducing the Daylight Artificial Silk Black Fabric

is Daylight Artificial Silk Black fabric a very fine synthetic material, similar to black silk, designed to offer soft diffusion while minimizing ambient reflection. It reduces light intensity by approximately 1.8 stops without creating unwanted reflections, making it an ideal solution for filtering direct light while maintaining contrast density. It is available in 6×6 (1.8×1.8 m), 8×8 (2.4×2.4 m) , and 12×12 (3.6×3.6 m), with larger dimensions available upon request from our sales team.

General and essential features

The fabric is extremely thin, synthetic, and flame-retardant, with a mesh size that allows for significant light diffusion (approximately 1.8 stops) while preventing light reflection. This effect is particularly well-suited when you want to soften the ambient lighting without brightening it , for example, to preserve contrast or avoid a flat look. Very lightweight and easy to handle, it attaches easily to frames thanks to its eyelets and elasticated corners.

Practical use cases

• As an overhead on a 12×12 frame (3.6×3.6 m), it serves to soften direct light without adding brightness or additional lighting, ideal for outdoor or studio environments with high contrast.

• In vertical profile, it acts as a dark diffusion panel, allowing a source to be filtered without illuminating the immediate environment.

• Ideal for scenes requiring precise aesthetic control of light, particularly in portrait or interview settings where ambient bounce needs to be limited.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the light loss with this canvas?

   Approximately 1.8 stops, which corresponds to significant diffusion without added light bounce.

2. Does it generate visible light bounce?

   No, it does not produce ambient bounce, unlike white silks which diffuse ambient light.

3. Is it suitable for indoor or outdoor use?

   Yes, it is suitable for both, as long as you are looking for a soft rendering without unwanted lighting from reflection.

4. Does it alter the colorimetry?

   No, it is chromatically neutral, without any visible dominant color, despite its black color.

5. What is the difference with the White version?

   The black version diffuses without light bounce, so it is ideal for controlling light without brightening the scene, while the white generates an additional soft bounce.
