“Red Breeze” is a creative artistic glamour concept shot with 2 speedlights. Working with unpredictable forms created by a fabric lace and incalculable posing can be seen as both challenging and exciting on set! The concept does not require a pro model but a playful one. The artistic touch is suitable for potential TFP collaborations.

Nice shots Dan! Using fabrics is one of my favorite things. We’ll get you to be an art nude photographer yet;)
Hi Joe, thanks for watching, reading, commenting.
Producing the red fabric was really fun and a complete uncharted territory as a setup. Plus all this different reds, adjusting the lights without having pilot light, time pressure (this was set 3 of 5 that day) – as said, was fun. Nikola did a terrific job and navigated me through my unimaginativeness :-)))
Love the concept and enjoying your speed light series. I have been doing a great deal of location works with Canon Speedlites for some time now and generally have been very pleased. I have been looking at the Flashpoint Streaklights (The Adorama branding of your lights) for a while now, trying to decide if it would be enough of an upgrade to justify the cost. I am leaning that way and your results are making me lean a little more, but I haven’t taken the plunge yet.
Thanks for tuning in, David.
If you want to have totally unaltered light blasted by your speedlights, then the Flashpoint Streaklights are the way to go. Yet as written in the article last week (https://sexywomenphotography.com/photo-lighting/creative-nudes-on-a-budget-with-speedlights/) all these concepts are suitable to be shot with the regular speedlights.
Troubles is mostly the power/recycling time. But for this you can buy quite inexpensive battery packs from third party manufacturers:

But anyhow, the barebulbs are sturdy, most versatile and really to recommend.

I sometimes shoot with speed lights and recycling time is the biggest issue for me. Both Nikon and Canon offer external battery packs that utilize AA batteries. They don’t last as long as the batteries Dan linked to but they are less expensive and they will reduce the recycling time considerably.
I love the creative side of these shoots and the use of simple lighting. I can only wish I could have access to beautiful nude models for a lesser fee, costly to do this over here 🙂
Keep up the great work!!
Hey Lars, thanks for taking your time commenting here and your kind words!
Model fees: As written in the article, this is considered to be a creative concept. I am sure you would find a newcomer that is willing to contribute to a “crazy” shoot for your both artistic portfolios.
As stated: You need a playful subject, not a pro. Give it a try! Looking forward to see some shots.
