Versatility in Three Lighting Setups

Summary

Photographer Eli Infante showcases the Westcott FJ250 strobe's versatility by creating three different lighting effects in one session. The first setup uses a beauty dish for soft light, with adjustments made in real-time to compensate for background brightness. The second setup employs an optical spot attachment for hard, dramatic light, incorporating a star filter to enhance sparkle effects and using background light to control shadow composition. The final setup builds a high-key silhouette with an optical spot as the key light and two additional strobes for a bright background, enhanced by a gradient lens filter for depth.
