Six Set Ups for Beauty Lighting



Six setups for beauty lighting
London based Italian Rossella Vanon has spent more than a decade in the cultural melting pot that is the British capital. During this time she’s been making her way as one of UK’s most renowned photographers and photography teaches in her field. Recently she did a beauty shoot where she had to create six different looks but still keep a consistent feeling throughout her six images.

August 2017 Newsletter

     Newsletter                                                                                            
August 2017
 
  

 

Dear Photographer,

With the gap between digital photography and the use of smartphones in creative story-telling via the various social media channels rapidly closing, it has been quite fascinating to see a growing demand for conventional film and medium-format cameras to support the production of high-end visual content. On our list of favourites this month, we have:
  • A Mamiya M645 Camera, 80mm Lens, Prism Finder and Film Magazine. Known for its versatility and simplicity, the Mamiya M645 is lightweight, easy-to-use and ideal for general purpose photography, landscapes, portraits and close-ups - R3900

 
  • A Samyang 10mm f2.8 lens for Canon - R5900

 
  • A Mobil (battery) flash kit (1200w) with two heads, two batteries and case - R22000 
  • A portable Sachtler 250H7 battery video lighting kit is on offer at R9900 
  • Olympus Mju (All-Weather) compact film camera. Considered a modern classic, this small compact Olympus Mju is stylish, and features a splash-proof body, accurate auto-focus, fast and sharp prime lens, and integrated flash - R2500
  • A (German) Bilora 3124 heavy-duty tripod + Manfrotto 329 head - R1500
  • A choice of four Elinchrom flash kits are available - see list below
