On Friday I was in Liverpool to give two half day lighting demonstrations to the customers of Wilkinson Cameras. I divided the sessions into Hollywood style lighting using the Lupolux continuous lighting and working the Fuji X cameras with flash systems from Cactus and Elinchrom.

01. Hand held shots taken using my Fuji X-T1 or Fuji XPro1 and the 35mm lens at f/1.4 I used just 1 Lupolux LED 650 spotlight to light these too.
Here are a few more of the pictures I shot of the lovely Natasha Beardmore

02. A Scattergel was used on the Lupolux to light the shot on the left.

03. I used my travel Venetian blind kit to create the shadow on this set of shots.

04. After the break I showed a series of one light set ups using flash. These were variations with a single 130×50 striplight soft box.

05. This shot was opened up by 4 stops to show how my X-T1 handles dynamic range and why I don’t expose to the left.

06. These one light shots were all taken with my striplight softbox on an Elinchrom ELB Ranger Quadra.
If you live in the North of England missed this event come to the Digital Splash event in October. I’ll be there, will you?
My thanks go to Richard Wan of Fujifilm UK for hosting me in Liverpool and subsidising the event for you guys. It’s great to be associated with such a kind and forward thinking team that is Fujifilm.
Thank you Wilkinson Cameras for your help and support. Wilkinson Cameras are a very impressive retail operation with trained, knowledgeable, courteous staff. Just like the good old days. The sort of shop that builds loyalty and cares about it’s customers.
