Softbox diffuser Lastolite Tatovering Summer II — Lastolite Tatovering Summer ll

Lastolite Tatovering Summer II is a softbox-style diffuser designed to modify and soften light from studio and on-location lighting. It provides a more even, less directional illumination that reduces harsh shadows and creates a natural-looking light for portraits, product shots and video. The accessory is made to be used with Lastolite lighting systems and is suitable for both continuous lights and flash units when a softened lighting effect is required.

Advantages

The softbox diffuser delivers uniform light distribution and smooth falloff, helping to eliminate hot spots and minimize contrast. Its construction integrates with Lastolite mounting systems for reliable positioning and stable attachment. By converting direct, harsh light into a broad, soft source, it helps achieve consistent skin tones and controlled highlights while remaining compact enough for location work.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography where gentle, flattering light is needed
• Product and still-life photography to reduce reflections and harsh shadows
• Video interviews and on-camera shoots requiring even illumination
• On-location sessions where portable, quick-to-deploy diffusion is beneficial

How to use

Attach the Lastolite Tatovering Summer II to a compatible Lastolite modifier mount or light head following the manufacturer’s mounting procedure. Position the diffuser between the light source and subject at a distance that achieves the desired softness — closer for broader, softer light and farther for slightly harder light. Use with either continuous lighting or flash; when using flash, adjust power and positioning to balance exposure and maintain even light coverage. Ensure the diffuser is securely fastened and test with meter or camera settings to fine-tune output.

Usage recommendations

For portrait work, place the diffuser above and slightly in front of the subject to create natural catchlights and soft modelling. For product photography, combine the diffuser with reflectors or flags to control spill and shape highlights. When working on location, bring a light stand with adjustable height and a secure mounting adapter to ensure stable setup.
