Learning about light modifiers, and finding the right one for you and your works are essential to getting your work done in a way that is both efficient and worthwhile. Do we use big modifiers? They spread light really well and create some beautiful soft imagery. But they can be difficult to use at times. Small modifiers are easy to use virtually anywhere. The issue with them is they spread light in a harder manner that delivers bigger shadows that can be harder to correct in post production. A number of years ago Rotolight introduced the worlds first electronic diffusion called Smart Soft, in their Titan lineup of lights. The issue with this is that the the Titan lights are primarily indoor use and can be hard to use outdoors, especially if you're shooting solo or as a one person team. Rotolight has now introduced the Smart Soft Box for its Aeos 2 line of lights. Which is honestly pretty cool because now we can use that electronic diffusion outdoors in a much more portable way.

The life of a model can be glamorous. But what happens when real life sets in? Shortly after finishing a photo shoot we noticed the right front tire of the Jeep losing air very quickly. I pulled over at an Autozone to buy a tire repair kit....and that turned into teaching Sophia (the model), how to patch and change a tire which became a quite humorous undertaking. I hope you enjoy this small look into what it's like sometimes on the road as a photographer and model. *LINKS TO SOCIAL MEDIA* Photographer: Jason Lanier *Website- www.jasonlanier.com *Podcast- www.jasonlanier.com/podcast *Instagram- www.instagram.com/jasonlanierphotography *Facebook- www.facebook.com/groups/jasonlanierworkshops *Twitter- www.twitter.com/jlanierphoto Model: Sophia Baser *Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/baser.sophia Thanks!

Wanna see what the two newest and biggest flashes in the LED photography world have in common? Wanna know which one is better and why? If you're curious about these lights and how they can help you create your work, this video is for you. Before watching this video, it might help to get caught up on the following two video reviews I've done separately on these lights before you view the comparison video. You can view them by clicking below: Rotolight Aeos 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_nNw3AtGBo Stella Pro Reflex S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGO8I8BTegQ As someone who has shot LED flash as long as anyone out there I know a thing or two about how to maximize these lights. I've been shooting with Rotolight for about a decade now. And over the past month I've had the opportunity to exclusively review the Stella Pro Reflex S thanks to the good people at the AVC Photo Store and School in Miami. I've been in contact with both the Rotolight and Stella teams and have enjoyed working with both of them. They're both hard working groups of people trying to move the needle in the world of LED flash photography and continuous lights. But at the end of the day the lights do need to be compared against one another since these two lights are the biggest competitors in the LED flash arena. So, this review covers the following: *Power *Diffusion *Battery Life *Innovation *Features *No Recycle Time Flash *"Ease of Use *Overall Recommendations I truly hope it helps those out there who are looking to jump into the next technology wave that will hit the photography world. Lights that do both constant and flash work, all in one. Thanks for watching! Please make sure to give it a thumbs up, share, and DROP a comment down below. Thanks!

Curious about off camera flash and lighting? Are you trying to figure out which system works best for you? Wonder what all the buzz is about LED FLASH? THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU. I've been shooting LED flash with the Rotolight system longer than anyone in the world. Heck, I've been shooting LED flash in general longer than anyone. And I have really enjoyed the innovation coming out of systems like Rotolight that have allowed me to stretch my creative options outside of the box that is conventional flash. When Rotolight came out with the Aeos 2 and Neo 3 it really changed the game for LED flash lighting. A little bit later Light and Motion came out with their Stella Pro lights. People have been asking me to look at this light for awhile now. And yes, I will be doing a comparison video between the two lights in a follow up video. There are 2 versions of the STella Pro. The Reflex and the Reflec S. This is of the Reflex S which is the faster version of the lights. In this review I test the following: *Continuous Lighting *Flash *High Speed Sync *No Recycle Time *Modifiers *Mounting Options *Results I always say Find the Right Gear That Works for You and I hope this review helps all of you do just that. A big thanks to my fiends at @avcstore2442 for hooking me up by sending me this light. And also to the folks at @StellaProLights who sent me some additional modifiers and accessories so I could give this light a truly comprehensive review. The model is the beautiful @cosmicactivist I'm super grateful for her help in making this video. Thanks for watching. I truly appreciate your support!
