This year we are collaborating with our BUFF Ambassadors, in various ways, to provide fun challenges across the photo community!
This first challenge comes from Tatan Zuleta who recently released a video explaining a new window lighting technique that he has tried. Zuleta shares his thoughts, and results, on one of the more traditional ways window lighting has been done alongside another technique that he finds to be even more successful.
WHAT GEAR WAS USED:
(1) Einstein Flash Unit
(1) V-Flat
(1) Translum Fabric*
*This particular item is not required. Anything can be used for the diffusing fabric (even a curtain), as long as it works to diffuse the light.
Ready for the challenge? We’d LOVE to see your results using the technique Zuleta showcases in the video above! See the rules below and look forward to seeing what you create!
