Toronto based fashion photographer Matt Baxter has done a quick test using the 2 different FlxGrids, we have developed, showing the difference in light quality and output.
Using a 22″ white Mola Demi with OPAL glass deflector the only changes were to the front of the grid;
First frame is just with the standard nylon diffuser sock, no grid
2nd frame is modified with the Black 25° FlxGrid
Last frame is modified with the White 25° FlxGrid
As you can see the new white Flxgrid not only grids the light but also softens the edges as well vs the black FlxGrid’s light. The white construction of the White FlxGrid makes it unlike any other grid on the market.
The Black FlxGrid’s are currently available from B&H and Adorama and the White FlxGrid will be available by the end of September.
Clever German photographer, Ralph Man, has put together a brilliant video on the 28″ Mola Setti. The action starts at 0:24.
He talks about the Setti, its light characteristics and shows a comparison between it and using a softbox.
Although this video is in German, you can still get an idea of what he is talking about from the behind-the-scenes and his final images.
Ralph runs professional workshops in Germany on lighting and photography. Check out his workshop website here. Another of his videos can be seen by clicking the ‘filme’ link on the above workshop site.
Here is some excellent, informative articles on the use of a beautydish, including diagrams and resulting images. While not all mention the Mola range of products, each article is excellent on gaining an understanding on the look and unique characteristics a beautydish gives.
