Geographically? Brooklyn, NY...though I hit the road fairly regularly. I'll be in LA for much of next week, for instance, and DC for a couple of days the week after.

Really is a great thing you're doing with the behind the scenes work Simon, I especially love the jumping shot of Davina, very dynamic. Cheers for all the postings!

Hi all,

Just a few quick shots of my studio, low ceilings I'm afraid but you work with the space you have. I came up with a "unique"use for a infrequently used camera stand for my tethered shooting including lighting control (Profoto Air USB) and quick Lightroom proofing of shots during shoots.

And, yup, I use this softbox with both my AB strobes in studio, and with a myriad of speedlights (580ex, Vivitar 285, Sunpak 120j, Nikon SB-24, etc)

Which stand are you using to hold up the box/light? I'm looking for something similar, to use indoors as well as out, but have no idea where to start looking. Thanks for any future input.

Awesome video, Simon! I'm looking forward to seeing more like it.

I usually shoot people, but it's my day off and I've been meaning to play around with some product shot kind of stuff. Here's what I whipped together, followed by the setup:

Link to Setup

Done in my apartment on the kitchen floor (needed all the height I could get) with my leather jacket as the shooting surface. Single Dynalite SH2000 through a 24x36 softbox with a foil-on-cardboard reflector for the handle highlight and a silver book for the highlight on the belt loop (camera right). As you can see, I had to do a little MacGyvering as my store-bought reflectors are much too big for this sort of application.

Cheers,
Kyle

The bus

I'm working on getting my bike license, it's a bit of a pain in Quebec. But I've got time, I'm still young. Plus motorcycle insurance is crazy high here.

Very cool! I love that place. The studio is in Bushwick right off the Morgan Ave stop but I actually live down in Carroll Gardens. Gotta love that G Train.

That is just a basic Bogen/Mantrotto 60$ stand. Can't remember the exact model number. Any light stand will work, so long as you can stick an umbrella bracket on the top. Or, if you only have a tripod, you can attach the umbrella bracket to that and use the light stand as a tripod as well.

Cheers,
Sid

Nice shot, Josh. Something Joe McNally said in his book comes to mind: "Babies are soft and cuddly. Light accordingly."

Love it.

Looooooooooooooooooooooove it.

The only time I use a non Apollo softbox is a light I have permanently set up in my studio for head-shots. The light never gets moved, so I leave a traditional speed-ring style box on it, because it never leaves it location and never gets adjusted. The rest of my speed-ring softboxes remain set up, hanging on a wall. I bumped into one the other day while moving something, and I got got dust everywhere. They are just wall decorations now.

I love the Westcott boxes. Love them.

wow good to know! thanks!

i was considering purchasing the alienbee softboxes but may consider this one instead since it is probably more portable. would you recommend this one over the AB softboxes?
westcott just came out with a HUGE one of these also.

I would absolutely make this softbox my first choice if purchasing again. The 50" is also fantastic:
