SCENE 01 / LIGHTING MODIFIERS
Lighting Modifiers
Professional light shaping tools for your Turkish production.
Here is how this works in practice. Lighting modifiers shape, diffuse, and control the quality of light on set. Softboxes, scrims, gels, flags, and diffusion frames transform raw fixture output into the nuanced lighting that cinematographers need to create depth, mood, and natural-looking light in any scene.
Here is the short of it. We give access to full lighting modifier packages including diffusion materials, color fix gels, and light-shaping tools. Our team sources these accessories from local suppliers and sets up delivery alongside your lighting fixtures, making sure your grip and electric departments have everything needed on set.

On Location
Lighting modifiers in Turkey — softboxes, diffusion, bounce, flags and gels — come from Istanbul's deep lighting-rental base, built by the country's enormous 'dizi' television-drama industry.
Here is the breakdown. We source lighting modifiers — softboxes and lanterns, diffusion frames, bounce boards, flags, nets, silks, colour-correction and effects gels, and the textiles to shape any source — from Istanbul rental houses, where the sheer volume of episodic 'dizi' production keeps modifier and consumable stocks deep and today's. Because Turkey is the world's second-largest exporter of TV series after the United States, full modifier ranges and gel inventories are readily ready, with the favourable Turkish lira keeping hire costs well below comparable European markets.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Our team scopes the modifier package against your fixtures and the look the DP is after, then delivers it with the frames, stands and grip hardware to mount it. For shoots moving between Istanbul interiors and bright exteriors at Pamukkale or the Turquoise Coast, we supply heavy diffusion and large overhead frames for shaping the intense Mediterranean light. Modifier hire from Turkish vendors counts as qualifying spend under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism cash rebates of up to 30%.
Here is how the picture comes together. Lighting modifiers travel as part of the lighting and grip package. Imported kit clears Turkish Customs under ATA Carnets and short-term-admission procedures, routed through Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), with Antalya (AYT) serving southern-coast shoots and overland entry from Europe ready given Turkey's position straddling two continents. We prepare carnet schedules so frames, textiles and gels clear without delay.
Here is what we have to work with. Climate and wind drive modifier handling: large diffusion and bounce frames act as sails, so on the windy exteriors of the Turquoise Coast and the open interior we add sandbag ballast and rigging restraint, while hot, dusty Mediterranean summers on the Antalya coast and cold, snowy winters in Cappadocia call for durable textiles and careful handling. The wetter Black Sea coast adds moisture protection. Mains power is 230V/50Hz, and 20% VAT (KDV) applies to local hire.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What softbox brands do you carry?
We stock softboxes from Chimera, DoPchoice, Snapbag, and others in sizes from small on-camera units to large 8x8 and beyond. DoPchoice Snapbags and Snapgrids are specific popular for their speed of setup.
What sizes of diffusion frames do you have?
We carry frames from 4x4 feet through 20x20 feet in many configurations. Standard sizes have 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 12x12, and 20x20. We stock many diffusion types for each size.
What diffusion materials are available?
We give a full range including 1/4, 1/2, full, and double diffusion, plus grid cloths, muslin, and specialty materials. Each gives different softness and light transmission traits.
Do you provide reflectors and bounce?
Yes, we have shiny boards (mirrors), beadboards, foam core, Griffolyn, and specialty reflective materials. Bounce is key for adding fill and redirecting light, above all on location.
What about flags and negative fill?
We carry complete flag sets including solids, cutters, and nets in all standard sizes. Black materials like duvetyn are ready for negative fill, which is key for creating contrast.
Can you provide large overhead setups?
Yes, we supply complete butterfly and overhead systems including frames, textiles, and all needed rigging. Large overheads are key for soft ambient light on exteriors and large interior spaces.
