Fiberglass umbrella kit

The umbrella is a vital piece of kit for every photographer that wants to be able to use a large/soft lightsource on location or in the studio without breaking the bank. And although umbrellas are widely used they are also often very fragile. With the Rogue Fiberglass umbrellas they tackled that problem by using fiberglass. And making the umbrellas very sturdy. But also super light. In the kit you will find a white umbrella and a black umbrella with diffuser panel.

I mostly use the white umbrella for white backgrounds.Because it will reflect the light and pass the light making it possible to use one light shaper as background light and accent on our model. Very cool.

The black umbrella with diffuser is my favourite as fill in light or a very nice soft contrast portrait light.
The umbrellas are delivered with a nice carrying bag.

The magnetic snoot


As you know I love light shapers that can be used in different ways, and the snoot does exactly that.
You can use it in 4 different settings, but when combining them with rectacular strobes you can also use them without the diffusion panel and create stunning vertical lighting patterns on your subject to really let him/her jump out.

In todays video I’m working with our Rogue fibreglass umbrella and show you some cool things you can do with it.

You can order the umbrella kit via www.frankdoorhof.com/shop or your favourite camerastore that sells Rogue products.

Building a complete set with lensflares and flags.

I love building mood in a scene.
It can be done with color, a lens flare, styling etc. but for me there always has to be something “extra” in the shot.
In todays video I show you how we build a rather complex but awesome lighting setup during a workshop with our model Felisa. I think you’re gonna love this one.

Walk around the model

During the workshops I always give a lot of attention to this super simple “move” that will give you so much more out of your shoots.

By walking around the model you can get totally different looks from your shoot. The umbrella is awesome for this because by slightly tilting it you can have total control over the amount of light hitting the backdrop.

So the next time you do a shoot don’t shoot from one location…but move around. Sometimes just a little bit can make a huge difference.

And one more thing 😉
