NiSi Filter White Mist 1/4 72mm – soft glow diffusion for portraits and landscapes

The NiSi Filter White Mist 1/4 72mm creates a soft, ethereal glow by diffusing and softening strong light that enters the lens. Photographers and videographers use it to produce a diffused glowing effect while maintaining clarity and image detail. This effect works especially well in portrait and landscape work.

How the White Mist 1/4 creates the glow

The filter works by scattering incoming light with small particles embedded in its glass or optical element. As a result, the light spreads more evenly across the frame and produces a soft glow instead of the sharper, high-contrast look you get without a filter. At the same time, the filter preserves overall clarity and fine detail in the image.

• Portrait photography: The White Mist 1/4 softens facial features and can help mask minor skin blemishes, delivering a flattering, film-like appearance.
• Landscape photography: It adds a glowing, mist-like effect to strong light sources such as backlit scenes or sunrise/sunset highlights.
• Videography: Videographers can introduce a controlled diffusion to moving images to achieve a specific mood or cinematic look.
