BOTH IMAGES SHOT IN VERTICAL MODE |
The image at the left shows the difference in both the intensity and position of the shadows, with the flash on-camera, taken in portrait mode (vertical format), with and without the LITE GENIUS LITE-SCOOP. The best results are achieved with the flash off the camera, but this requires an external flash cord or trigger, plus a light stand or assistant. All of these options are expensive and not feasible for the event/wedding photographer on the run. The next option preferred by most professionals is a flash bracket which also requires an external flash cord or trigger, adds a lot of weight to the equipment, and throws off the camera balance since the heavy flash is usually quite a bit above the camera. The purpose of the bracket is to keep the flash higher than the lens of the camera. This force shadows to drop behind and below the subject. Cost of a flash bracket and flash cord is about $200. USD Although your first choice should be to get the flash off-camera, if that is not practical under your shooting circumstances, a better, faster, lighter and less expensive option than a bracket set-up is available with the use of the LITE-SCOOP. No bracket is necessary to keep the flash higher than the lens in either portrait or landscape modes, and it weighs about an ounce ! Cost is only $34.95 USD plus $8.00 S&H worldwide. (This is for the reflector only . . . flash and camera not included. ) |

As you can see, in portrait mode the flash is still higher than the camera lens. Not to be confused with "cookie-cutter" imitations ! Flat reflective surfaces are not as effective !
This is NOT a "flash card" which has a flat surface and still depends on ceiling bounce. The LITE-SCOOP is effective out of doors, as well as indoors, and results are not affected by high or dark ceilings!! The unique shape of the LITE-SCOOP spreads the light better than using straight flash! The LITE-SCOOP even improves the lighting when shooting through an umbrella or scrim, creating a larger and softer light source for individual and group portraits. |

and another said, |
Hello, Bob! Jennifer here--I bought one of your reflectors a few weeks back and we had a lovely chat--remember me? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the reflector, by the way. Last week, I took some shots of a local artist's paintings for her portfolio (not on my site yet), and man, it was awesome to have that nifty little thing on the flash. It really does a beautiful job eliminating shadows for indoor shots of the kids, too--a big plus for me. Thank you so much! All the best, Jenn |
