Lite Lessons
Location Assignment: Firehouse Portraits
FROM LITE LESSONS: Wednesday August 17, 2016 EquipmentHalfDome® nxt: SmallOctoDome®: SmallProDuty BackDrop Support KitPhotographer Ian Spanier shot the images for this lesson at the Riverview Manor Firehouse in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York using members of Engine 46 as his models. These portraits - shot in color and converted to black & white - capture the rawness and grit of the subjects.
While navigating around the firehouse, Ian overcame some location challenges to get these stoic images, which, in addition to shots from three other fire departments, eventually led to a… August 17, 2016
Senior Portraits using LiteDiscs Outside
FROM LITE LESSONS: Sunday July 8, 2012 Most people assume that professional portraiture requires expensive camera strobes for good results. While it is true that strobes can work beautifully for portraits done in the studio, there are many situations when outdoor natural light is all you need. This lesson will demonstrate how a set of Photoflex LiteDisc reflectors can go a long way towards modifying the readily available sunlight to achieve beautiful results. Topics Covered: Choosing the right background Diffusing sunlight using LiteDisc reflectors Using a LiteDisc reflector… July 8, 2012
Mobile Lighting for Outdoor Portraits
FROM LITE LESSONS: Thursday August 11, 2016 So you want to take dynamic portraits outdoors but you don't want it to be a huge production with a lot of lighting gear, assistants, etc. Not a problem.These days, it doesn't have to be a huge production in order to achieve well-lit portrait shots outdoors. The main reason for this is that lighting equipment has come a long way over the years: it's a lot more portable, a lot more affordable and a whole lot easier to use.Topics Covered: The… August 11, 2016
Reflector Size = Size of Reflection
FROM LITE LESSONS: Sunday July 8, 2012 Reflectors are important tools for a photographer. Like any other kind of tool, one reflector may be more appropriate for a given shot than another reflector. This lesson covers the importance of using a reflector that is large enough to light the subject. The rule of thumb is easy - the reflection cannot be larger than the size of the reflector. We often talk to photographers that want to use a small reflector because it is convenient to carry and easier… July 8, 2012
Baby Portraits with the XS OctoDome Kit
FROM LITE LESSONS: Monday June 25, 2012 What's the difference between a good baby portrait and a great baby portrait? Well, the answer is debatable, but most professional photographers would probably agree it all comes down to lighting. After all, you can have a cute baby and a nice background, but if the lighting is poor (read: unnatural looking), the shot will certainly fall short of what it could have been. This lesson illustrates the difference, and walks you step-by-step through the process of creating great baby portraits.… June 25, 2012

Having used Photoflex gear for over twenty five years, I have always relied on their excellent build quality and performance. All soft boxes, umbrellas and reflectors are color correct for perfect color temperature and made with state-of-the-art fabrics and construction. Very versatile for artistic lighting, Photoflex gear is also easy to set up and pack when shooting on location.

Photoflex was my first choice for light modifiers when I started building my own studio arsenal almost twenty years ago. I still have that first Medium Softbox, and use it often. Photoflex Octodomes produce wonderful light, and with a grid installed I find I can control almost any on-location lighting situation. Photoflex reflectors in my equipment case, too, have been with us the entire ride - doing their job as well as on Day One.

Photoflex as a company makes very good products. I own a few reflectors, reflector holders and I find their materials to be a lot better in quality.
