Photographer: Sal Cincotta

Model: Shelby

How Sal used the StellaPro Reflex

I found the Reflex to be super lightweight and portable. I loved that it has interchangeable batteries. Another cool feature is the Optics, attachments that act as a grid to help control the light. There are three Optic sizes: wide, medium, and spot. For the final images, we used the wide Optic.

In this photoshoot and behind the scenes video, we use the Reflex as a continuous light source. There are two lights being used. one has a CTO gel and a spot lens on it and the other is daylight balanced and has a wide lens on it to encourage better light fall-off.

The StellaPro Reflex S is an LED light source, so it’s capable of putting out some really good light!

    Say Sal, love your work.
    I have to ask, have you tried the flash “pop” feature of the Reflex lite?
