KIT LIST






NEO 2
The NEO 2 is the most portable
light in the Rotolight range
(weighing less than 500g). Like the
AEOS, it also offers a combination
of bright, constant LED illumination
and HSS flash.


Rotolight softbox
A softbox diffuses and softens light,
smoothing shadows and evening out
contrast so it’s the ideal modifier for
headshots. We used the softbox on
the AEOS light in our set-up.


85mm lens
Chris was shooting with the lovely
Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art lens
that is the ideal length
for portraiture
and headshots.
Shooting
between f/4 and
f/5.6 Chris
wanted to make
sure Theo’s facial
features stayed
in focus.


AEOS
This disc-like LED can be used
in the studio or on location. It
offers both powerful constant LED
illumination and High Speed Sync
(HSS) flash with a runtime lasting
up to two hours on a 95 w/h battery.


Technique


Using three lights
and a gel, Chris
was able to produce
this result
Canon EOS 6D, 85mm,
1/250sec at f/5.6, ISO 800
