PolarPro unveiled the brand-new Goldstache filter, a filter featuring both a 1/4 gold mist effect and a polarizing effect in a single filter. This product was developed in collaboration with photographer Garrett King (also known as shortstache).
What is the PolarPro Goldstache ?
A 1/4-inch gold mist filter and a circular polarizing filter are integrated into one unit.
Developed in collaboration with photographer/filmmaker Garrett King (also known as shortstache), the Goldstache filter delivers both a “gold mist effect,” which softens highlights with warm tones and slows down light diffusion into shadows, and a “polarizing effect,” which reduces glare and reflections and adds depth to colors, all in one filter.
Gold Mist features a quarter-strength diffusion intensity for everyday use, delivering a delicate shimmer, enhanced highlights, and balanced skin tone without sacrificing clarity. With its rotatable, adjustable polarizing effect, it offers modern control while capturing the moment with timeless beauty.
Shortstache Everyday filter color variations
The “Shortstache Everyday filter,” released in 2024 and still one of the company’s popular filters, was a filter that achieved both black mist and polarizing effects in one, and the new Goldstache filter can be considered a color variation of that filter.
This filter is perfect for situations where you want to create an even warmer, more nostalgic feeling than the Shortstache Everyday filter.
Truly shines in situations where you need to photograph a light source.
Gold Mist truly shines when used in direct sunlight, producing warm, diffused highlights and a delicate warmth that blends seamlessly into shadows. Its effects are most clearly visible when shooting sunrises/sunsets or against the light.
PolarPro Goldstache Size range
Goldstache filters are available in 13 screw-in sizes ranging from 43mm to 95mm (C), plus PolarPro’s Helix MagLock filter system, which enables ultra-fast filter attachment and detachment, for a total of 14 sizes.
