I few weeks ago I mentioned that I had gotten my hands on some modular LED lighting to test. Well I finally had chance to have a quick play with them and this video shares my first impressions of my time with them :)
I go through what a modular LED light system is, plus I discuss some of the various uses there are for it.
I also share my images after using them with coloured gels, and talk about how I set the shots up and what ultimately makes these lightsunique in my opinion over any other lighting that is out there right now.
If nothing else, take a look at the shots as they are unlike any other lighting I've used in the past so the results are likewise pretty interesting looking.
If you're even remotely interested in LED lighting then take a look. But even if you know nothing about LED lights, these are definitely a creative option to look at from a portrait lighting point of view.
As always, I understand you might not want to listen to me waffling on so I have included handy time codes in the description plus links and discounts* etc if you're interested.
*As a side note this is not an ad, I don't get any kickbacks on these, I'm simply just sharing my thoughts on them :)
After you've checked the vid I'd be interested to hear what you guys make of them though. Do you think they look interesting enough to try? Do you think you could use these in your current portrait shoots? Or would you never ever use LED lighting to begin with? Let me know here or on the vid on YouTube.
