The Geekoto Lantern in action

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Some light sources are special

The moment you see the Geekoto Lantern you know exactly what you’re going to get.
A beautiful soft light from the front of the softbox, but also a lot of light emitted from the sides.
This makes the lantern the perfect softbox for new born, product and fashion photography when you need a lot of light but don’t want the light too harsh and the edge transfers on the set. The lantern does exactly this.

In this behind the scenes video I use it for a full body quick to setup fashion shoot.

 

Working with the optical spot from Westcott to create stunning images

Creative light shapers are awesome

When you want to create something different than the standard photo there are a lot of options.
You can add some props, add a nice backdrop, maybe add some smoke and accent lights etc.

But something that will really spice up your shoot is without a doubt an Gobo projector, or optical spot.
In this video tutorial I’m using the Westcott Lindsay Adler optical spot for three completely different sets with our model Lois.

You get to see the lighting setups, all the photos I shoot and of course the technique is explained in depth.

As an extra bonus I also demonstrate the Rogue (Frank Doorhof) Flashbender.

Styled pregnancy photo shoot video

When your model is pregnant it’s time for some extra shots, especially when the model is our friend and stylist Nadine!

Every pregnancy is unique, and when we shoot a pregnancy I always try to find something fitting for the model.
I think we all know Nadine, and with Nadine, it’s impossible just to shoot some images of her belly. So during a recent workshop, we decided to shoot different setups all aimed at a part of Nadine’s character and of course my input 😀

it was a load of fun, Nadine got several totally different pregnancy shots, and well… we got some cool behind the scenes videos.

Today the video about this shot.

In the video, I show you the lighting setup and explain the idea behind the shoots.
We always appreciate a like and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

You can read more about this shoot in another blog where we accidentally caught some amazing shadows.
