Taipei Noir

Taipei Noir (Craig Ferguson)

What do you do when you have access to a fully equipped studio, a large range of modifiers and a variety of seamless backdrops? Why, break out the speedlites of course and find the corner of the room that is used for storage of random bits of furniture and assorted electrical gadgets. It goes somewhat against the grain here in Taiwan where there seems to be a growing trend for people to equip themselves with a large range of studio gear just because they can. In rare instances, such as the studio I used for this shoot which is a working commercial studio, the people with all this gear actually make their livings with it, but more often than not, it’s simply a hobby and they have high paying jobs that allow such luxuries. While there are some incredibly talented photographers here, there are a lot more who think that having all the gear is the recipe to success. They look at the work of someone like Joe McNally and think they need enough lighting gear to light a small city despite the fact that he mostly works with one or at most two lights. As the old saying goes, it’s not what you got but how you use it.

Today I want to share a few previews of a series I’m currently working on. Think of these ones as more or less test shots to see how much potential the whole thing has.

This series is going to evolve into a longer term project through 2012 so stay tuned for more previews in the near future.

More On The Phottix Odin

Tweet

Phottix Odin

In my look at the newly announced Phottix Odin ETTL flash trigger last week, towards the end I mentioned compatibility with the Phottix Strato. As pointed out in my update, the guys at Phottix send me a firmware update for it that would upgrade my earlier demo samples to the latest firmware which promised compatibility. Due to teaching a multimedia photography workshop over the weekend, I didn’t have a lot of free time for much testing but was able to quickly put it to the test. All I really needed to find out was whether or not I could trigger the Strato from the Odin. Sure enough, it was possible. Read on after the jump for the details.
