When I started in photography years ago I used speedlites ( still do ) and whilst great due to portability they lack power for a studio environment. My first speedlites were Younnuo YN460’s and whilst they spat out light, in all honesty they were garbage. I later moved to YN 560’s and they were not much better, so I picked up a set of Canon 430EXii which a far better light than any of the YN units.
I ran the Canon 430EX II’s for a few years and added a Canon 600EX-RT later. The location kit has change some and that will be covered in another post.
Next came the studio lights. For a few years I rented local studios for clients work before opening mine so I have experience with a fair few brands (Bowens, Profoto, Various others).
Photography Workshops, Training & Events
in Workshops
Good Afternoon,
Photography and the camera can be a daunting thing when starting out, we all start knowing nothing about this craft.
With that said allow me to introduce you to another side of the studio/business.
For the last couple of years I have been running photography events, training and workshops at the studio and have enjoyed every minuet of them. These events and workshops have allowed me to help people and also learn myself.
In My Bag's 01 - The Camera & Lens Bag
in Gear
Over the next couple of post’s we will be taking a look at what gear I use for my work as a photographer. Starting out we will be looking at the Camera & Lens bag.
This bag ( Think Tank Photo – Airport International V2 ) has been with me for the last 6 years or so and is still going strong.
The video below goes over the kit that is stored in this bag for any given job.
