The Marings play around with two D1 Air Kits on set and the results are shots that are, “soft and pretty with a perfect touch of sophistication.” Watch this video to learn how they achieved this with a four light set up.

First, an umbrella on a D1 was used to illuminate the background. Then to brighten the back of the subject, a Magnum Reflector on a D1 Air was placed behind her. This gives the photo a 3D effect plus a sprinkle of glamour. A 10-degree Honeycomb Grid on a D1 Air was used to focus the light on her face. Lastly a Softbox Octa was used to showcase her outfit.

D1 Air monolight gives great consistency with color temperature and output. Additionally, the ease of having 4 lights in 2 cases makes for very stress-free traveling and no hassle when it comes to setting up or breaking down lights; you can transition smoothly from one set up to the next.
