Pimp My Speedlight
Kevin shows us how to take your lame ol’ speedlight and make it the big boss candy sauce of lights. Using boom poles, grids, an octobox, and two speedlights, Kevin shows you how to shoot a awesome Hollywood set type of photo. You don’t always need a huge setup to rock a shoot. Check out this week’s PhotoPro and see how to pimp your Speedlight.
Don’t miss Kevin every Thursday right here on PhotoPro.

Great episode Kevin and perfect timing for me. I’m just about to invest some money into a portable lighting kit and I was actually wondering what you recommend? I currently shoot on the Canon 5D MarkII and I’m considering purchasing 2 new Canon Speedlights (600EX-RT) . I also heard great things about the Quantum QFlashes. What do you recommend and which speedlights were you using in this episode? Thank you in advance.

Kevin, a short question for you: how do you set up the speedlight inside the octa for the zoom? thank you
