Elinchrom Barndoor 21 cm Black Light Modifier

Elinchrom Barndoor – Precise light control for creative studio photography

The Elinchrom Barndoor is a professional light modifier for the photo studio. It allows precise control of the light beam to create targeted light accents and avoid stray light.

• The four adjustable flaps direct the light exactly where it is needed – for controlled light cuts and dramatic effects.
• The angular shape ensures an even light distribution and facilitates alignment with the subject.
• With a width of 21 cm, the Barndoor fits standard studio flash heads and offers sufficient surface area for precise light guidance.
• The lightweight design of only 0.50 kg allows flexible handling on a tripod or in the hand.
• The black finish minimizes unwanted reflections and stray light in the studio.

What sets the Elinchrom Barndoor apart

Unlike simple reflectors, the Barndoor allows fine-tuning of the light beam in all directions. The flaps can be positioned independently of each other, allowing light edges to be precisely defined – ideal for portraits with targeted light accents or product shots with defined highlights.

Ideal for...

The Barndoor is aimed at photographers who work with artificial light in the studio and value precise light control. It is particularly suitable for portrait, product and still life photography, where controlled light guidance and the targeted use of shadows are essential.

How to use the Elinchrom Barndoor

Attach the Barndoor directly to the flash head of your studio flash. Align the flaps so that the light only illuminates the desired area of the image. By adjusting the individual flaps, you can create soft or hard light edges – depending on the desired effect. After the shoot, you can fold the flaps back together and store the Barndoor compactly.
