Much of studio lighting is a two step process. You first figure out how to AIM and DEFINE the light, IOW get the quality and basic direction the way you want it. You then figure out how to CONFINE that light to the areas of the shot that are important, and that part is often a SUBTRACTIVE process.

Anyway, that's a big reason many pros or studios have a large assortment of things like flags, dots, scrims, panels, reflectors, etc., etc., etc.
