Behind the scenes video of a photoshoot with female model Amber.

This shows the use of one strobe and a large semi-bare light source. In this case, a White Lightning X3200 shot through a 48″ octabank with the front diffuser removed.

I talk about White Lightning and compare the brand with Pro foto.

I talk about the difference in price as well as what to expect.

orbis™ ring flash episode 003 – kickbox shoot

The orbis™ ring flash, available at www.orbisflash.com, in action at a photo shoot of a kickboxer. Includes the advanced tip of using the orbis™ as a small softbox for directional lighting effects at close range.

Look out for episode 004 on orbis™ ring flash techniques, coming soon.

A while back I interviewed Italian fashion photographer Massimo Zanigni, after I’d spotted him posting some very polished, beautifully shadowless photography to the orbis™ ring flash flickr group. It turns out he’s a pro photographer who scored an assignment for a big Italian fashion label, Magilla, shooting none-other than gorgeous Italian celebrity Rafaella Fico. You can read the interview we did here.

The other day, excited to be using his new orbis™ arm, Massimo emailed me to let me know about three behind-the-scenes videos from the Magilla campaign. I thought you’d be interested to see them, so without further ado you’ll find them below. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to shoot a beautiful model in a stunning Venetial palace with an orbis™, you’ve come to the right place. Bravo Massimo !

This tutoria video teaches you the basics about how to use the flash/speedlight  and its exterior controls (tilt / pan for bounce) and interior controls (flash modes) and a lot of demonstration animations. It is written in PLAIN english to help people to understand what a flash have to offer. Yes, you still need to read the user’s manual for detailed instructions and references. Enjoy!

Note: Sorry for the errors in the video about panning, 22.5º is actually 45º, 45º is actually 90º, and 90º is actually 180º.

people’s opinion of this review :

The Canon 580 flash is set to 1/1 and depending on the distance you will have to adjust the f stop between 4.5 – 11 all depends on the effect as far as flash recycle time you will need to have a battery pack for the flash ($149.00) to reduce the recycle time by 5 seconds with flash on 1/1.

Can someone tell me what is the difference with the ray flash in comparison to the coco flash. The coco flash I saw on Amazon looks identical to the Ray flash the difference is the price $59.00 compared to the ray Flash of 199.00. I like to know if anyone knows the difference.

I have more trouble getting the ray flash to work for me indoors than I do outside. I get beautiful pictures outdoor. I believe the settings are good based on what I played with so far just not there yet but working on it. Do you have any suggestios?
