Asymmetrical Strip Bank  
Style: 3668  
Description  
The Bruce Dorn Select Asymmetrical Stripbank is 18” x 42” and constructed of lightweight fabric.  
Bruce’s specially-designed light modifier features three choices of facing material and an optional inner  
baffle. With the inner baffle in place, the Asymmetrical Stripbank behaves much like a conventional  
Strip with a slight hotspot, but a fairly even spread of illumination. By removing the inner baffle, the  
maximum intensity is biased towards one end of the bank and offers a gradual fall-off of illumination  
towards the other. It is this “self-feathering” feature that makes this light modifier so desirable for bridal  
portraiture.

Instructions  
The spring rods that support the Asymmetrical Stripbank are of two different lengths and weights. Insert  
these rods in the appropriate ends of the fabric material then insert the two heavy rods into the adapter  
ring in sequence. With the two heavy rods in place, insert the shorter and more flexible rods in the  
opposite holes. To disassemble gently push down on the ring with one hand and the rod with the other  
and pop the rod out of the hole on the ring. Continue to do this in the same alternating method that you  
did to set it up.  
For a bridal portrait, mount the Asymmetrical Stripbank vertically, tilt the strip down about thirty  
degrees, and carefully position the hotspot to create a Rembrandt pattern upon the bride’s face.  
Combined with a bit of fill from the Bruce Dorn Select Muslin Reflector, the hotspot will create a bright  
and open “fashion” tone on the bride’s face while the strip’s gradual fall-off defines the gown with a  
minimum of “highlight blowout.” The fall-off effect is more dramatic at different distances and  
experience will teach the photographer to adjust the final position to taste.  
The Bruce Dorn Select Asymmetrical Stripbank comes complete with three interchangeable front  
diffusion panels; Full Stop, ½ Stop Grid Cloth, and ¼ Stop Grid Cloth. These panels allow the artist to  
control both contrast and intensity of the light emitted. The ¼ Grid Cloth works nicely with the more  
diffused sources such as the Daylight Fluorescents equipped with the Spiderlite TD3. The Full Stop  
material goes well with studio strobe sources. Don’t be afraid to mix and match to create your own  
inimitable style; herein lies the creativity…
