I knew this was a Lindsay Adler video as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Instant click. ❤

[@briano58]

The one with the slice of light🤟

[@eduardofrances]

You are so welcome!

Loved the slice of light better

[@PeterSzpakowski]

Love these photos. My favorite is just with the triangle and using a gel to fill. Love the different Gobo patterns available. I just got the optical spot so can't wait to play with it next week.

Lindsay, thank you 💕

[@smellgoodphotography7722]

I love this. I like that slice of light. I need to use a snoot

[@tombanks3245]

Excellent Lindsay, thank you.

[@WestcottLighting]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@IrisNelson]

You are always so inspiring, @lindsayadlerphoto - I personally like the slice of light.

[@Neopulse00]

I feel like having 2 of these is a must.

[@briano58]

Fabulous Creation love your videos 🤟

[@stupendously_creative]

Enjoyed the break down

[@mtcrun]

The slice is my favourite... It would be interesting to see the combination of both. I would love this optical spot!

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Yes! All about the combo!

[@mtcrun]

@@lindsayadlerphoto Hey Lindsay, do you have any tips on working with continuous lighting, overpowering ambient light AND not blinding the model? Can it be done or is this where a strobe with modeling flash prevails?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

@@mtcrun you are in luck. I have videos coming out on Adorama and the April episode of my monthly membership is this theme!

[@mtcrun]

@@lindsayadlerphoto Sweet! Thank you!

[@readitoutloud]

Thanks for being clear and concise in your tutorial. The scenes are amazing and I really enjoy your work.

[@WestcottLighting]

Glad you like them!

[@paulkarassr6253]

Love the GOBO!

[@iKeto_gal]

The slice of light is like something you'd see in Vogue and the other is like something you'd see in Vanity Fair

[@MultiGaspasser]

Liked the slice of light slightly more, but both were outstanding.

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Thank you!

[@andyraeber6044]

Lindsay, I would love to work for you for a week. Absolutely amazing eye. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertgordonphotography]

Hi Lindsey. Hope all is well. I don't think there is a difference but would using 1x3 strips make any difference in that setup? Love the slice. Seems more edgy

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

For these it should be pretty much the same. Totally fine to use either

[@GeraldTookes]

I loved the Victorian gobo the best.

[@WestcottLighting]

Good choice!

[@marclabro]

great review. - does it work only with continuous light ? I mean that a flash would damp the light of the gobo - doesn't it hurt eyes to look the optical spot as the woman does in that video ? - i have read that with the default 135mm we need a very long studio i don't have. In this video you are very close, but the circle ... is very narrow, not acircle around the body...

[@XtremeLinkProduction]

which lights are those ?

[@mohamedmonir4373]

An accurate, easy and classy explanation from a wonderful artist

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Aww thank you!

[@a_haywoodphoto]

The slice of light was a little better to me. Both shots are very magical though!

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

hi. I was wondering if the spotlight is focusable so that the gobo'ed light is softer?

[@WestcottLighting]

Yes! The lens on the spotlight is focusable so you can soften or sharpen your gobos.

[@albertw251]

I prefer the slice of light

[@i8910midnight]

LA is ❤

I'm so close to pulling the trigger on 2 FJ400's. The one thing thats preventing me is the eco system. Is Westcott planning to add more lights to the FJ series soon? FJ400 has been out for about 3 years now and a 400W being the most powerful option is a bit worrying (and limiting).
