All in Lighting
Looking for a fun photography project you can try at home? You may already have most of what is required for a DIY lightbox at home.
Introducing the Hobolite Pro. I was super keen to try out this 300W Bi-Color Continuous LED Light, for studio portraits especially.
I'm a big fan of something that not only looks good, but is functional. And works straight out of the box. I recently checked out the Hobolite Avant 100W LED.
I’m fast becoming a big fan of pretty much anything Hobolite produces these days and this little Micro 8W LED Lighting Kit by Hobolite is no different.
This funky little 5W LED from Hobolite punches way about its weight and offers fantastical magical light for props and small objects.

I recently got to check out the Hobolite Mini 20W Bi-Colour continuous LED.
I’ve been on a little bit of a still-life deep dive lately, all thanks to the Hobolite Mini. It’s such a cool and versatile little light and it’s just perfect for small-ish still-life setups.

Capturing the essence and beauty of a subject through portrait photography is an art that demands the perfect blend of equipment and technique. Among the crucial tools in a portrait photographer’s toolkit is the beauty dish.
Everything smells so fresh and vibrant. I adore getting into my garden between showers with my camera and macro lens. Those little drops of rain are so photogenic.
I adore shooting macro in between rain shows and the Fiveray M20C, is a versatile light for making photos on a gloomy day so much brighter.
The Phottix G-Capsule makes it easy to swap between diffusers, beauty dish, and grids all in one handy capsule.
