CHINA SILK
1 product
China Silk white softens and diffuses light.
When light is directed onto a subject, it can sometimes create harsh shadows or unflattering highlights. By placing a layer of China Silk between the light source and the subject, the fabric can help to scatter and soften the light, creating a more flattering and even illumination.
One of the advantages of using China Silk is that it can produce a glowing, warmer white light that is particularly well-suited for skin tones. This can be useful in situations where the lighting setup needs to be gentle and flattering, such as in portrait photography or close-up shots of actors.
In addition, China Silk can also introduce ambient bounce, which is the indirect light that is reflected off of surrounding surfaces. This can help to create a more natural and balanced lighting setup.

China Silk Black. When light is directed onto a reflective surface, such as metal or glass, it can create unwanted reflections and glare that can be distracting or unflattering in the final product. By placing a layer of Black Silk between the light source and the reflective surface, the fabric can help to reduce the amount of reflection that is visible.
One of the advantages of using Black Silk is that it can help to maintain the diffused quality of the light source. Unlike other materials that may absorb or alter the quality of the light, Black Silk is designed to reduce the reflection without changing the overall look of the lighting setup.
Silk fabric is generally used for diffusing and softening light, as well as adding a warm glow to skin tones. While it is possible that silk could be used to prevent reflections on shiny objects or to create shadows, it is not a commonly known or recommended technique for these purposes.
