The Broncolor Para 88 Reflector is widely considered the gold standard for lighting modifiers among professional fashion and portrait photographers operating in Hong Kong. Its unique 24-segment parabolic design provides a quality of light that is impossible to replicate with standard octaboxes. Measuring 88 cm in diameter, it offers the perfect balance between the immense light quality of larger Paras and the portability required for location shoots.

The Para 88 is not just a reflector; it is a creative system. By utilizing the integrated focusing tube, photographers can physically move the light head within the reflector. Positioned deep inside (focused), the Para 88 produces a high-contrast, directional beam with incredible “bite” and specular highlights. When moved toward the opening (defocused), the light transforms into a soft, three-dimensional source that wraps beautifully around the subject while maintaining distinct detail. This versatility makes it an essential tool for high-end commercial photography.

Applicable Scenarios:

• High-Fashion & Editorial: Perfect for creating the signature “3D look” with high-contrast highlights and deep, rich shadows.

• Beauty & Portraiture: Ideal for professional portrait techniques in Hong Kong, providing a wrapping light that enhances skin texture and bone structure.

• Commercial Product Shoots: Excellent for lighting large reflective surfaces or achieving precise directional control on luxury goods.

• Location Production: Its foldable design allows for professional studio-quality light even when shooting in practical Hong Kong locations.
