What type of softbox is that?

i think it has a "sock" over it

From a photo shoot last weekend. 1 light, B800 with octabox.

WOW.. Jerome.. that is like Dave hill style..

shoot thru umbrella and full power 580 EXII for the rear kicker, and other side kicker camera right was AB1600 @ 1/2 power with 64 PLM

hardest part was balancing out all the lights to get the look i wanted..

my only appointment was the harsh shadows under his chin.. but for males it is ok i think

Wow, nice work!! Would love to see the shot right off the camera compared to your finished product after post. Love the post style on these, awesome!

Excellent jeromego! I will assume you ran some high frequency separation layers on these. love it!

Silver or white for a PLM?

Gonna order a 86" one when they come back in stock, I'm thinking silver?

i like this shot, only complaint is the over exposed book spines on the left side (guessing its only because the light was there)

After a long debate between the AB800s and the Elinchrom D-Lite 4 kit, I finally made a decision. I thought about starting with a single Einstein but called PCB and said it will probably be 2-3 months to get one.

I can finally post in this thread! Just pulled the trigger on 2 AB800s, PCB Large Octo w/ grid, Vagabond II, and 2 Impact HD stands! Wanted to get the PCB BD and a Westcott Boom but think I will get that later. Can't wait to start shooting! All these photos are awesome!
