Lightweight Lighting Gear For Travel Portraits

It’s been such a blast this month having Liz guest coaching and sharing her techniques and tips for studio and portrait work. Since she shared the gear she likes to use as well as how to approach using artificial light in her work. I decided to create this quick video to show you all some of the smaller lighting gear I like to take with me when traveling light. Links to the gear are below…

If you want a more in-depth look at how I use this gear, check out the portrait lessons in my Approaching the Scene and/or Landscape and Travel courses.
A quick heads-up for next month. We have Matt Kloskowski back and the two of us are going to focus on long exposure photography all July long. There will be a challenge, so get your favorite long exposure image ready. This is going to be a blast.

    Hi.
    I hope, it will be next part with model and light cube (especially) demonstration.
    Difference in light power and quality between light cube and normal flashes.
    Thanks.

      Good thought Dariusz,
      I have some other stuff cued up, but I could see doing that in the near future. The cube is to my mind a backup to the strobe and a great tool for video, light-painting, or a 2nd light.

    Another great video! I especially love that your guidance is very practical. The Lume Cube looks versatile – may get one for light painting and backup flash. Thanks!
