50’s Shot Using a Beauty Dish and OctoDome

December 7, 2010 By Morgan

I did a shot on location of a woman dressed in fifties clothing at a 50’s style gas station. It was fun to work with the make-up and styling. We took a Speedotron Explorer 1500 Pack with a Speedotron Beauty dish & grid as our main light and Photoflex OctoDome as a rim. This is a lighting lesson showing how we made the image. I am looking for portable strobe power to go on location and decided to try the explorer pack. The shoot went great. This Video piece was shot on the Canon 5D and 7D. Its a fun lighting lesson. To see the images from the shoot go to my Blog at jaypmorgan.tumblr.com/
