Lighttools Egg Crates
A few days ago I posted some portrait pics I took for a friend of mine. I got a bunch of emails asking me about what kind of light set up was used on each shot. I’ll let you in on a little light control secret…. Lighttools egg crates. Soft egg crates are a great way to combine both the quality of soft light and the directional attribute of hard light. I use a 40 degree Lighttools egg crate on a 24″ octagon soft box for portrait work and it’s a sweet little combo.
Lightrein is a company I trust for professional lighting products and great customer service. My opinion is shared by many professional photographers and cinematographers. Check out what others say about egg crates on the Lighttools site.
Lighttools and David Montizambert have teamed up and put together the following YouTube video to show the dramatic lighting effects of egg crates…
For my techy readers, check out this page on the Lighttools site for technical data on the light distribution from the various egg crate degree options.
