Shop Talk
In other news, I’ve just been approved for a loan to get some more equipment. I have been borrowing my mentor/friend’s equipment (BryceBoyer.com) from the time I learned how to use strobes. For this I owe Bryce many thanks, but it’s time to move on. I will be getting some sweet gear:

The kit consists of 2 1000ws packs with built in radio receivers and three heads. Dynalites are tough, economical and great tools. These are the packs I learned studio lighting with. I made this decision after a few hours of study. After extensive research, I looked at profoto, but you get two heads and one pack for the same price as the Dynalite kit.

Pocket Wizard. Industry standard for camera/flash sync.

This is my favorite tool. It’s a Chamera small softbox with silver interior. This light has been my main light on more shoots than I can count on my fingers. It is compact, light weight and packs a dynamic lighting punch. I typically use it with the 40 degree grid to throw the background into shadow. So, any photographers looking for a great light modifier, this is my recommendation.
