Clock and Compass Webinar - The Equipment

We thought  we would make it easy and outline all the Lastolite Equipment used and mentioned during the Clock and Compass session with Mark Cleghorn. It looks like a bit of a shopping list, but remember only ever buy what you need and build up you kit collection over time to ensure you use one thing well before you invest into more.

We usually reccomend that you check out WEX in the UK who carry a large amount of Lastolite product for same day dispatch or of course Amazon. WEX  Link

Lastolite Hilite

  The Lastolite HiLite backgrounds range allows the photographer to undertake ‘High Key’ photography on location and in restrictive spaces. The white background itself can be rear-lighted so there is no longer a need to use a background light behind the subject and because the background is illuminated, the subject can stand right in front of it without casting a shadow. The HiLite backgrounds also work as a large rear softbox, illuminating the subject, meaning you can use just one other flash head to light the subject from the front. The Lastolite HiLite background is collapsible so can be easily stored and transported. This larger 6' x 7' version is ideal for full length portraits and small group shots. Please note that the train is sold separately.
