Exploring Photography—AdoramaTV

Mark Wallace shows a simple way to use speedlights and gels to transform dull backgrounds.


In this exclusive AdoramaTV video, Mark Wallace shows you how to take a drab background and punch it up with some color! Using speedlights and gels, Mark makes a great portrait in an industrial warehouse setting.

Using the Rogue FlashBender and Diffusion Panel kit by ExpoImaging, available from Adorama, Mark gets soft light on his model. Then he uses a Rogue Gel to cast a blue light on the background. You'll see why this set-up is Pperfect for a quick on-location shot.

Off camera flash + gel = FANTASTIC

This is a great simple use of off camera flash with gel. The combination is terrific!
