How to use the Litepipe for Portrait Photography

The model is leaning against a yellow wooden board which matches perfectly her yellow pullover.

The litepipe P is placed in front of the model, the counter reflector lets only a narrow horizontal line of light passing through. We can clearly see the narrow horizontal line of light reflecting in the model’s eyes.

By defocusing the Pulso-G lamp the distribution of the light in the Litepipe P is not even; there is a nice gradation of light. Usually by defocusing the Pulso-G lamp we reach a more even light distribution, it is just the opposite when using the defocusing function in combination with the litepipe P.

There was no need of a fill-in light and no need for any additional light for the background. A simple and effect full light setting, with only one light shaper!


The image has been taken with a medium format camera and a focal length of 120 mm. The exposure time was 1/125 s and the aperture f/5.6 with ISO 100.
