new orbis™ videos – CLS setup and more

After receiving quite a few emails from people around the world asking me about off-camera cords and setting up the Nikon wireless flash “CLS” system, I set to work and put together a couple of instructional videos. If you want to know more about getting your flash off the hotshoe to get cool side lighting and shadowless orbis™ ringflash photos, check them out. First up,  setting up Nikon’s CLS, with the off-camera cord video after the jump.

You can find both of these videos and more at our Youtube channel, including a fun little short timelapse film I recently uploaded. I’ve got more videos planned over the next couple of months so stay tuned!

italian orbis™ fashion shoot – behind the scenes

A while back I interviewed Italian fashion photographer Massimo Zanigni, after I’d spotted him posting some very polished, beautifully shadowless photography to the orbis™ ring flash flickr group. It turns out he’s a pro photographer who scored an assignment for a big Italian fashion label, Magilla, shooting none-other than gorgeous Italian celebrity Rafaella Fico. You can read the interview we did here.

The other day, excited to be using his new orbis™ arm, Massimo emailed me to let me know about three behind-the-scenes videos from the Magilla campaign. I thought you’d be interested to see them, so without further ado you’ll find them below. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to shoot a beautiful model in a stunning Venetial palace with an orbis™, you’ve come to the right place. Bravo Massimo !
