A bit off topic, but how sturdy are those light stands on casters when you’ve got a nice big softbox or octobox on em? I love the idea of making a few for myself, but can imagine some center of gravity issues.
Instead of shipping steel barbells, the modern thing is to ship empty plastic containers that can be filled with wateror sand or if it needs to be rigid with cement.
If you cut a slot into that, you could epoxy strips of plastic to create a weight with an empty slot from centre to edge. Would be perfect for dropping 5 or 10 or 20 pounds onto the base of the light stand when you’re fitting a softbox on it.
Hilarious! I can just imagine her thinking “This is just not working for me. Can we get some kind of squeaky toy in there? Maybe a frisbee even?” Lovely Doodle!
haha family dog? How do you keep anything hair free?
Great Photo!
Gracie is a Labradoodle. The poodle in her keeps her from shedding and that is a fantastic thing.
Cheers,

No offense, but Gracie looks like the light-absorbing material which I use in my studio sometimes…
Lucky she wasn’t a cross between a bulldog and a shitzu.
Always good to see where the artistic direction comes from heheheheh

Hay Zack, when are you coming back to NYC to do a OneLight Seminar?
Reflector in one hand. Dog in the other.
So much for one light
Personally, I think she makes a very paw art director.
That was bad even by my terrible standards.
Dog, what dog?
at least you captured the good side.

DIY negative fill or gobo! Nice! I’ve got a yellow lab, kind of throws a color cast when I use him as a reflector….
Oh so FIERCE!
