Broncolor "How To" – Buddha Still Life Photoshoot



Karl Taylor

In this broncolor ‘How To’ video Urs Recher and I look at techniques for creating hard and soft light.

We do this using soft-boxes to maximize the detail and texture in this Buddha statue, resulting in a beautifully crafted still life image.

  1. Flashes and reflective materials seem to be the basic medium for presenting light. The most commonly used rectangular products + black cards or reflective media are used to shoot merchandise. Previously, I used only simple lighting: honeycomb tools. Diffuse reflectors can now be made thinner and mirrors can be used to provide high-gloss textures. I'm surprised by this effect!

  2. Dear Karl and Urs.
    In this way, I want to thank you for the great explanation that you provide. I am a Dutch amateur photographer who is busy with photography every day. Recently I started with studio photography. Not because I wanted to but I had to because of my handicap. Through you I have been given the pleasure in studio photography. I work with speedlights but can still learn from your videos. You have given me another goal. And that is tabletop photography with speedlights. Thank you for this. A friendly greeting, Toine

  3. Great video you too guys. The way you guys put it together as if I am right there with you in Urs' pad. The conversational type teaching in Q and A style helps. Very well scripted. That is how to's should be in my opinion!
    I have had my eyes on Siros lights for quite sometime now. Last Christmas, I bought the Broncolor softboxes and this Christmas, its going to be the Lights. Its going to be one hell of a Christmas on my pocket!

  4. Dear sirs, how about for the front light to do it like in a paramount lighting position, that would have balance and symmetry for both sides of the faces? Maybe with reflector below ala beauty lighting but higher position and more contrastry?

  5. Awesome video! Very very helpful – gives me so much more variations I can do in my studio portraits without changing out my light mods. I hate changing out my soft boxes coz I have such a small studio
