The benefit of size

When photographing highly reflective surfaces it helps to have a nice big light source. If your light is too small the edges of it shows in the reflected surface. I just unpacked a new 54″ x 72″ softbox and wanted to take it for a test drive so to speak. What do you think?

54 inch by 72 inch Photoflex softbox — 54" x 72" Softbox with 2 stage diffusion.

  Sorry for the delay in responding. I just learned tonight how to find comments awaiting approval. Then I had to wade through 700 spam comments to find the real ones. The answer is yes it is a 54’x72′ Photoflex that has since been returned to B&H because it was way too deep. I am awaiting the arrival of a ProPhoto 4’x6′ that should be about half the depth and much more workable for my space.

Headshots
I called Bob on very short notice for some pictures. I did not have any hard & fast rules so Bob’s direction and guidance was really appreciated. I felt really comfortable with Bob’s process; he & Julie helped to create a fun & casual atmosphere.
My pictures turned out just beautiful! Thank you, Bob. I’d recommend you to anyone.

My family and I would like to thank you very much for the beautiful photos of the family. The large family picture looks wonderful in our family room. The others we will put up in due time. It was a great experience and you and Bob were extremely professional.

Thanks again!
