Small strobe with studio softbox

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

For some time I tried to think how can I combine a studio softbox and a small studio flash. Today I found a good tip how to use a studio softbox with a small camera flash Yanik’s Photo School demonstrates how you can make your own flash rig using standard studio equipment, it’s really easy. Only one more thing I want to figure out is how can I use my studio reflectors with my small flash. If you have any suggestions drop a comment.

My first One Light experience

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Last week I attended a seminar about “One Light Photography”. It was a 6 hour long lecture and practice. The professional photographer showed us how to make cool high-class photos using only 1 light and the available lighting. It really inspired me and today I decided to try some techniques I learned on the seminar, so let’s see the results.

The Ultimate Bounce Card

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

This is “The Ultimate Bounce Card” by Peter Gregg. This guy sells hand made bounce cards and shows how to make and use them. I found it pretty cool to share your techniques and hand made equipment that everyone can make at home with a piece of white and black paper and a rubber band. Watch the video and make one ! You need this stuff.

You can also find more videos or buy bounce cards at Peter Gregg’s website: www.abetterbouncecard.com

I always wanted to know why professional photographers always use longer lenses like 70-200 or 90 for portrait shooting. Mark Wallace from studiolighting.net gave the answer on this question.

I favor longer lenses for portrait work for several reasons:
