Simple Portrait Setup, Beautiful Results – This is What We Are All About!

May 15, 2012 - Article by Pye

During our iPhone Fashion Shoot, as well as the behind the scenes video for how we lit and created professional photos with reflectors for the iPhone Photo Shoot; we showed you guys how we used a reflector and just our camera to create photos that were beautiful but simple in setup. Due to how much time we spend shooting in different locations, we have to have lighting systems that are simple and extremely portable. This is why reflectors are such a large part of our toolkit and speed and simple setups has always been our motto.

This is why we totally dig this video by Sasser Stills. In this video, Michael Sassor once again shows just how easy it is to create beautiful images with a camera, reflector and a knowledge of light and composition. Watch how Michael uses the reflector as a fill light, main light, scrim, catch light, etc. His posing and instructions for guiding his model is also quite wonderful. Great work Michael!
