I have been developing a book of portraits of Los Angeles writers and poets. The only lighting equipment I've used is Photoflex, and I've achieved some phenomenal results. My primary has often been the MultiDisc 5'n1 set of reflectors, with a secondary LiteDisc reflector for fill. Many times I had less than an hour for photographing each subject, so the ability to quickly set up and strike was really important and the Photoflex gear was key in obtaining many of my shots. Since my subjects weren't surrounded by a lot of lighting equipment, these reflectors also fit right in with my aim to create a relaxed and stress-free shooting situation. |
