Photo studio reflector Elinchrom Round Grey White 40 cm diameter, 1.1 kg

The Elinchrom Round Grey White 40 cm reflector is a compact studio light modifier designed to shape and soften light from studio flashes and monolights. With a 40 cm diameter and a grey exterior combined with a matt white interior surface, it reduces light spill while producing a soft, neutral reflection and a relatively wide light beam. This reflector delivers even highlights and softer shadows suitable for controlled portrait and product lighting situations.

Advantages

The grey exterior helps limit unwanted spill and preserves contrast at the edges of the beam, while the matt white interior provides a focused yet soft reflection that renders neutral tones. The 40 cm size offers a balance between control and coverage, producing a wider beam angle for fuller subject illumination without harsh hotspots. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to mount and reposition on standard studio heads or light stands.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography where soft, even facial lighting is required
• Product and still-life shots needing neutral highlights and controlled spill
• On-location shoots where a compact, transportable reflector is preferred
• Use with monolights and studio flash heads for general fill and modelling

Key specifications

• Exterior finish: grey (reduces spill)

How to use

Mount the reflector on a compatible studio flash or monolight head following the lamp and modifier mounting instructions for your equipment. Position the reflector to direct the beam toward the subject; increase distance to widen coverage or move closer for more focused output. Use the grey exterior to avoid spill onto backgrounds or surrounding areas, and orient the matt white interior toward the subject to achieve soft, neutral highlights and reduced contrast. Adjust power and distance to fine-tune exposure and shadow fall-off.

Usage recommendations

For portrait work, place the reflector slightly above eye level and angled down to create even, flattering highlights. For product photography, align the reflector to emphasize shape and texture while keeping background spill controlled; consider pairing with a diffuser or grid when more directional control is needed.
