NiSi's Black Mist filters are renowned for their ability to create a cinematic look, often used to soften wrinkles, blemishes, and create a flattering image of a subject. They work by lowering contrast and diffusing highlights within the frame, helping to balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. The Black Mist Circular Filters in this kit offer strengths ranging from 1/8 to 1/2 stop, with 1/2 providing the strongest effect. The filter effect intensifies approximately twice as much with each grade number increase, offering you a range of creative possibilities.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to using mist filters, this kit offers a great starting point. For still photography, the 1/4 filter is recommended, while the 1/8 filter is ideal for filming. NiSi's Black Mist filters are designed to suppress highlights and lift shadows, ensuring well-balanced contrast. Light sources maintain a strong center with a pleasing glow, adding depth and dimension to your images or video.
Beyond portrait photography, the Black Mist filters can be used in a variety of scenes, including night photography, landscape, and still life, to create a cinematic atmosphere. They add extra blooming and gradients to the highlights in your scene, transforming any direct light source into a smoother, film-like texture around the highlights.
Cinematography is the art and technique of capturing stunning visuals on film or digitally.

With the different strength options available in this Professional Black Mist Kit, you can find the right filter for any shooting situation. Experiment with these filters to discover how they can enhance your cinematography and elevate your visual storytelling.
