Video Light For Photographers

Video light rocks! It's a continuous light source which means that you can physically "see" what the light is doing. From there, all you have to do is set your exposure up just as you would if you were shooting in natural light. No need to worry about your sync speed or anything related to flash photography. It is just good, quick lighting.


This shot was taken at an old movie theater in downtown Albany, NY. I used my generic Smith-Victor video light to illuminate my subject and worked the barn doors of the light to prevent light falling too far off of her. The video light puts out a decent amount of light so my settings were 1/60 sec. at f/2.8 @ ISO 800.

Thanks for stopping by!
