Studio Lighting: Light Modifier Comparisons

Posted in Kansas City Photographer, Kansas City Photographers, News, On the Web, Technique

There are a bunch of modifiers available for controlling light. They range from a $15 umbrella to a $1000 Octabank. If you don’t have access to a store or studio where you can try out different softboxes and beauty dishes there are several websites that offer comparisons.

Here are a few links to websites that offer comparisons of different light modifiers.

Hensel

Profoto

Broncolor

Lowel

and a little more light hearted comparison on blog Robbies Bubbles

Zack Arias also did a very good comparison during his creativeLIVE workshop. You can view the results on his blog and the video is still available for purchase at creativeLIVE.com.

Enjoy!

Posted in Food Photography, Kansas City Photographer, On Assignment

Most people have New Year’s resolutions involving food. My New Year’s resolution was to be more active posting on my blog. It was a very busy January so I’m a little late to the party but here is some of my recent work involving food. Enjoy some low calorie images and have a great 2011!

On Location: Boulevard Brewery

Posted in Kansas City Photographer, Kansas City Photographers, On Assignment

It’s Friday and in Kansas City the temps are climbing up to triple digits again. 140,000+ barrels of beer should help cool you off. Earlier this year I had opportunity to photograph a Kansas City treasure,  Boulevard Brewery. Boulevard Brewing Co. was founded over 20 years ago and has become one of the top brands in Kansas City. The brewery sold over 140,000 barrels of beer in 2009 and has the capability of producing 200,000 making them one of the largest specialty brewers in the Midwest. Founder John McDonald was very gracious with his time and in an hour we were able to get three location portraits as well as some candid shots. I went back to the brewery a second time and got some detail shots. Below you will see some of the images from the shoot.

Enjoy your weekend!
