When you compare the shot with the grid to the previous shot, you can see the grid’s impact on the image. Off-camera flash used with and without a grid The 20-degree grid is sort of a middle-of-the-road option, not too tight or too wide. The lower the degree number, the tighter the focus of the beam of light coming from the flash, and vice versa. Grids are measured in degrees, and we’re using a 20-degree grid. A closer look at the 20-degree grid in action on a Profoto B10 The grid will ensure the light doesn’t spill onto the walls or other parts of our scene that we want to keep underexposed.

To paraphrase Trevor Dayley of MagMod, if you hold a grid up to your eye, you can quickly see how it limits your field of view. A grid is a simple photography tool used to control light direction and minimize light spill when using a flash or strobe. While we’ve used a wedding-themed styled shoot to demonstrate this technique, you can use the grid technique to create dramatic lighting in most any area of portrait photography.
