Directional lighting rocks

We all know that light is very important in photography, in fact photography is often called “painting with light”. Now it’s no secret I think that I love directional lighting, the way you can steer your light is always a big plus for me, I love to put the light exactly where I want it.

Thanks to grids this is very nicely done, put a thick grid on your strobe and you have a very narrow beam, but a thinner grid on and you have a wider beam of light, but you can also use other sources of course.

For example I love to use the ice light from Westcott with the barndoors, this light source makes it possible to really create a very narrow beam of light on my model. Today some samples of this light source from resent shoots.
