Combining Strobes and Reflectors: A Lighting Tutorial

Combining Strobes and Reflectors: A Lighting Tutorial Tube. Duration : 4.12 Mins.

By Jay P. Morgan I enjoy using reflectors when shooting on location but I find it's a bit restrictive. There are many things that can be done with a couple of reflectors alone but so many more options open up when you just add one strobe head. In this follow-up to last week's lesson on "Reflectors", The Slanted Lens will take a look at using one strobe head in addition to our reflectors. This is the way I like to shoot on location. With a couple of reflectors and a portable strobe unit I can better control the lighting situations I may face on location. When the sun does not cooperate, the strobe does. It's there as a fail safe for whatever situation I may be in. I love the look. Let's look at using strobes with reflectors. Good luck and keep on click'n! Jay P.

Creating Professional Photography w/ $30 Reflectors - Photography Lighting Tutorial

Full article at - www.slrlounge.com About a month ago, we took on the challenge of shooting an entire fashion shoot with just an iPhone and a couple $30 reflectors as a follow up video to the FStoppers iPhone Fashion Shoot. The SLR Lounge iPhone Photo Shoot has gotten a lot of attention and we thought it was time for a follow up video. So, in this follow up video, we will be showing you guys the exact reflector lighting techniques that we used to pull off every shot that we took in the SLR Lounge iPhone Photo Shoot. However, we will be using a legit camera this time. This time we will be using our 5D Mark II along with a 50mm 1.4 Prime Lens. But, trust me that you can pretty much get these exact same shots with virtually any DSLR body with a 50mm 1.4 Prime Lens attached. Below the video, we have listed out all of the equipment and software used to create these shots. So be sure to check that out as well. Enjoy, and as always, let us know what you think!
