When lighting photographic scenes, light sources are often coupled with light-shaping attachments to alter the original light. While the colour rendering properties of the light sources are known, the effect of the added modifiers has not yet been fully investigated. In this research, the effects of light-shaping attachments such as snoot, beauty dish and a range of softboxes on the colour rendering index of the original light sources are investigated using a series of spectrophotometric measurements. The results outline the effects of each light-shaping attachment and provide guidance on the usability of the modifiers used when it comes to accurate colour rendering.
