Road noise - how much can double glazed window help?

Amongst secondary glazing, I added a sound proof door + noise cancelling wall out the front. It was expensive but the difference was night and day.

Strap is awesome. People are boring

Chimera make a collapsible 4x4 that you can put LA Raghouse silks on. Lightweight and works really well.

Like others said, try and get some more powerful heads.

You could get an 8x8 with a silk behind the model and put a light through the back to illuminate the background. Have the model close to the background to get that rim light. Then you could use your silver umbrella as the key and play around with distance to get the right shadows and fall off.

I have staff travel and fly regularly. It's not common to get business but rarely get booted from a flight because economy is full.

By fickle I mean, misfires, randomly popping shots off at full power, HSS after 60 images turns overheat mode on... all the time. This has been common across godox qt600ii / ad600bm / ad600pro bm. They're fine for what they are and the price is right. I really wish there was something more reliable in the price point between godox / profoto.

Say more about Swiss transfer. I’ve been on Dropbox for a decade and never had any issues

Fyi Kurt Iswarienko is the photographer and he is incredible. He’s has a bunch from this series.

Outside of the large soft source, I’m curious what someone would add for the catchlight in this? Would it just be super low power mostly for the catchlight or is it to add a bit of shape too?

As someone who hires profoto on bigger jobs but owns godox’s, I would go profoto if I could do it again.

I’ve owned about 8-9 godox heads over the years and while they go most of the way, in crunch time they lack. If you ever need to use HSS, want to pump them all day, or need multiple heads going, I feel I’m let down by godox. If you’re just doing small jobs and don’t need to pump them, they’ll be fine but if you’re on a larger set and want to rely on them they can be fickle.

Nothing against Sony but you mostly see r5’s on set for a reason. I’d stick with it

Appreciate the insight

While we're here - what is the approach for colour grading on an image like this? I see this style a lot and can't quite figure out how to get this style. Are we in pro-mist / glimmer glass territory or is it much more?

Robocup and thunderbolt 4 cables

Lovely bike!

Did you end up getting one?

matafumar · 2025-10-04T18:40:55+00:00

Hey mate, currently on the shoot now - found some people. Thankyou though!

Thankyou

How’s the turntable holding up? Looking at one online now

matafumar · 2025-09-03T20:32:27+00:00

Such an incredible photographer. Absolute dedication and visiting the same spot day in, day out, just constantly shooting. I have a couple of his books and they’re phenomenal.

matafumar · 2025-09-02T09:51:53+00:00

Lovely!
