The Lightsphere® Collapsible Snoot was designed for photographers seeking the control and creative allowances the PowerSnoot has to offer, but with the portability and universal patent-pending grip of the Lightsphere® Collapsible. The Lightsphere® Collapsible Snoot, similarly to the PowerSnoot, gives photographers maximum efficiency and directional control over strobe lighting when mounted off-camera, allowing one to create cutting edge, "fashion style" special effects. The black finish of the Lightsphere® Collapsible Snoot blocks the light spilled out of the sides of the diffuser so instead of filing a room with soft light, the photographer can project the light directly onto the subject with a controlled yet soft burst that is great for hair highlighting, selective lighting of subjects, or highlighting a subject against a busy background. In other words, the Lightsphere® Collapsible Snoot allows you to focus light into the areas you want to highlight, and more importantly away from the areas you don't.
