How I Shot This - Pixapro CITI 300 Pro

November 10, 2020 in How To, How I Shot This, Product Photography

Hello and welcome back to The Craft.

I had plans to write and produce portrait tutorials this year… well we all know how 2020 has been so far so I will not go into it.

For this post I thought I would share something a little different. In this one we will be taking a look at how I shot and lit a product photo of a Pixapro CITI 300 Pro.

I was sent this light by Pixapro ready for some upcoming video content I am working on for them but figured why not shoot a photo of it during my usual meter and flash duration testing.

You see post after post of multiple light setups with big softboxes, stands and other equipment and then you go shopping.

Hold up. STOP.
