A Speedlight Studio?

Wednesday, May 20, 2015
I used to think of speedlights as just a piece of equipment for using at weddings or maybe to balance out the sunlight when shooting outdoors. However after reading Shoot to Thrill by Michael Mowbray I am thoroughly convinced that he is correct about using them as your main studio lights. Side by side you can't tell that all of his images were made with speedlights not studio strobes. He makes good use of light modifiers and very rarely uses a speedlight on camera for more than fill. He also makes a good point with their portability for shooting on location versus hauling heavy strobes and battery packs. Basically after finishing this book I will for sure being adding more speedlights to my equipment. To read all this awesomeness for yourself find it here:
