The Elinchrom One TTL HSS is a very cool little light. For a while, the public has been screaming for Elinchrom to bring something compact with no cables. And now they finally did! It’s an OCF Mouth 131 watts small little beast. I’ve had it for a little while now and now it’s time to break apart all the findings and real-world usage.
So let’s start with the technicals so we can get that out of the way.
We sat down with 4 top creatives to talk about success, failure, fears and joy, Here is what they had to say
Last month we met with four of today’s top creatives for a pleasant chat. We asked them about their successes, failures, fears and joys.
We met Pratik Naik, Bella Kotak, Roderique Arisiaman and Richard Terborg and asked each four questions:
How I Built The Set For The Holy Mary Photograph
I met Viviane many years ago when we were added to a project together as photographer and stylist by a designer friend.

The Box – How To Build, Light & Shoot A Photography Set On A Budget
Like most projects, this one started with a very small and vague idea. I thought it would be cool to build a set that would be kinda like its own ecosystem: something very moody/foresty/damp.
First idea was to make it rain in a random household room. While I was brainstorming and getting into the details, I found it would be too much of a hassle to redirect all the water out of the studio. So instead of a room, maybe something smaller would work? It would have to be big enough for someone to stand in it, but small enough so that you could see that there is actually a box inside a room. Then have it be very moody.[Read More…]
