Playing with the Lume Cube

One of the things I love about my work is that I’m sometimes able to play with new gear that I would normally not have bought myself or that’s not on the market yet. Sometimes the gear is indeed something I would have not bought myself, but sometimes I’m just overwhelmed with what it can bring and how it works.

 

A while ago I played with the ice lights and absolutely loved what you could do with it, the main problem… price.
So I was not saying no when our friends from “de Greef” asked me if I would be willing to test the Lume Cubes and give my opinion on them. I have to be honest…. the first few moments I was going like “mmmm interesting but what should I do with it” but as soon as I started thinking about it the options became almost limitless, you can use them of course as external strobes for your iPhone, but let’s be honest…. it’s a bit expensive if you would just use them for that.
However they are also incredibly (read REALLY incredibly) handy to use as video lights for your drone, videocamera, vlog etc. etc. they are small and give a tremendous amount of light. And because of that light output I also started using them in my photoshoots. I love to shoot with alternative light sources and using the lume cubes on the face of model has proven incredibly handy and gives me great results.

 

Today some images shot with our model Linda where I only used the Lume Cubes.
Later this week we will also upload a video where I review the Lume Cubes and give some tips on the use of them.
