    Aug 15 2022

    What business are you in? You might say that you have a photography business. Or maybe you refine that to say that you create custom portrait art. Or you specialize in corporate headshots. Would it upset the apple cart if I told you that you really should be in the experience business? Especially if you want repeat customers or wish to grow through referrals.

  • Please stop killing your speedlights
    Jun 6 2022

    Today I am talking about speedlights, which are great tools when used right. But often, folks expect more out of them than they can deliver. So I’m going to run through the good, the bad, and oooooh, you shouldn’t do that with speedlights.

    In Godox and MoLight news...If you need a new speedlight, be sure to check out the Godox V860III and the V1 at MoLight.

  • Light Quality: the confusion about diffusion and specularity
    May 22 2022

    I find that folks are often confused regarding the concepts of SOFTNESS and SPECULARITY when describing the quality of light. This is most often rooted in a misunderstanding of what role DIFFUSION plays in creating softness (it doesn’t...surprise!). Intrigued? Listen now.

    In MoLight news, all proprietary MoLight-branded softboxes are on sale. For a limited time you can save on all SNAP, EXO, DeepMo, and GoMo softboxes. Check out the savings in the MoLight online store at www.gomolight.com.
