Combining natural light and flash can be tricky, but photographer Axel Rivera shared a perfect example of such image with us.

As we reported a few weeks ago, Godox has launched new Witstro AD200 Modular Strobe. It’s also called 200x or eVolv 200, so if you see it under these names – have in mind it’s the same thing. If you’re thinking of investing in one, we’re sharing a review from photographer Robert Hall. As I […]

I was recently at an interactive installation that had three theater lights – red green and blue shining on a white wall. The kids were fascinated by this – especially with how the colors mixed and how they could make different colors by casting shadows on the wall. This is a human scale representation of […]
