Colorama has announced the launch of Translum, a polypropylene backdrop-cum-diffuser designed to transform light. Lighting Translum from behind creates a soft, white background with an even, smooth look similar to seamless paper. Photographers can also position a subject and lights behind Translum to create a silhouette. When not being used as a backdrop, Translum’s versatility as a diffuser means it can be hung from ceiling to floor to create a large softbox, placed in front of a window or doorway to diffuse natural light, or easily cut into any shape or size from the roll. Because it bends, Translum can be manipulated into nearly any configuration needed – and can even be used to tailor the correct sized tent needed for your shoot. Translum comes in three grades; Lightweight, Medium and Heavy, and is available to buy as a roll, or as a set of 6 sheets including 2 of each of the different grades.

Colorama Launches Translum

One Product, Unlimited Possibilities

Colorama, leader in background and support system solutions for professional photographers has announced the launch of Translum.

A versatile, unique and semi translucent plastic material, Translum is designed to transform light.

Made of polypropylene, it can be used as a light diffuser, tabletop backdrop, portrait background and more.

Offering an alternative to paper or muslin backgrounds, Translum’s diffusing qualities make it an ideal choice for a backdrop. Lighting Translum from behind creates a soft, white background with an even, smooth look similar to seamless paper. You can also position a subject and lights behind Translum to create a silhouette.

When not being used as a backdrop, Translum’s versatility as a diffuser means it can be hung from ceiling to floor to create a large softbox, placed in front of a window or doorway to diffuse natural light, or easily cut into any shape or size from the roll. Because it bends, Translum can be manipulated into nearly any configuration needed – and can even be used to tailor the correct sized tent needed for your shoot.

It is this versatility which makes it Colorama’s most creative product yet. Use Translum to diffuse studio or natural lighting to achieve soft delicate light in any shoot.

Translum comes in three grades to offer a range of diffusion options:

:: Lightweight grade – Create a medium diffusion for a soft light effect when some contrast is desired.

:: Medium grade – Create a dramatic soft light effect when most shadows are needed to be eliminated.

:: Heavy grade – Create a dramatic soft light effect when light is diffused over a large area.

Available to buy as a roll, or as a set of 6 sheets including 2 of each of the different grades.
