I do a lot of automotive work, and for that I use it ALL the time

fyi, the guy jumping into the car is Freddy aka @tfjj on instagram. Probably shooting for the dealer.

John Russo for his location portraits.

if you're in TTL mode on the remote - what looks like the flash exposure compensation on the remote is not a flash exposure compensation - you have to use the camera's functions for that. In actual fact what those +1/+2 etc on the remote do is change the flash power ratio's between groups - if...

I use the Interfit EZ Drop backdrop which is relatively cheap and light/small bag. Large white cloth (no floor option though), but once up there is surprisingly very little creasing in the backdrop - - and if you can get your model enough distance away to blur it enough or overlight it for a...

yes i mentioned continuous lighting because lighting cars is often about microadjustments to positions of lights and barn doors which is a flash modelling light probably won't cut. flash isnt the typical way in car studios and I've shot in some of the best around. It would be assumed an infinity...

Lots of things can be used but just to give a run down of the typical type of lights for painting a car: A torch/phone torch: being small sources the light sources are quite 'hard'. Typically you'd want something a bit softer as its easier to shape the car. They typically also lack power. Torch...

thanks - no I don't think fro has ever critiqued this, may have been on fstoppers.

The difficulty with lighting a bus is being able to position the lights correctly. The natural position the bus needs to be lit from above and to side of it. Lightpainting is a technique but generally you need to be in a dark ambient environment or have very powerful continuous lights (think...

Recently had a headshot shoot in Vienna and had to fly there. My main issue was taking a backdrop (location didn't have a suitable natural backdrop), so bought one from Interfit that just about fits in a large suitcase along with lightstands and a folding softbox (normally use a large octo but...

If you like GF's stuff from 8 years you need to see his work now.
