Samy’s Camera April News
By Louis Feldman

Honl grids

To spotlight the upcoming Sports Shooter Academy Lighting Luau, I wanted to kick off this month’s column with lighting gear from the vast catalog at Samy’s Camera…

Samy’s is an official distributor of the cool gear from Honl Photo. These well designed and made devices by David Honl controls and shapes the light from speedlights, giving photographers the ability to create portraits that before required larger, heavier gear.

Check out the Honl Photo gear at this link:

Another cool, FUN lighting control device for the speedlight is the Orbis ring flash. Unlike some other ring light units, the Orbis will fit different systems and produces an even light that before was only available for bigger (meaning more expensive!) studio strobes: http://tinyurl.com/samys-orbisringflash

For a fun video comparing the Orbis with a couple of other ring flashes, check it out here:

And speaking of cool … the Frio (from the same guy that developed the Orbis!) is the best cold shoe on the market. The Frio is the first cold shoe that has a double secure method of attaching your speedlight or video gear. Check it out here:

Samy’s Camera is the proud sponsor of the Sports Shooter Academy Lighting Luau Speaker Night on Friday April 22 in Orange County. The Speaker Night features Sports Illustrated’s Robert Beck and Southern California commercial and editorial photographer Tim Mantoani discussing their work, portraits, lighting and the fun in photography.

Robert will break down several of his assignments from the call from the editor to the logistics of setting up the shoot to working with the subject and actually making the photographs.

Tim will discuss his career, starting off with assisting to finding his own path to success in this highly competitive market, creating unique and innovative photographs for clients that include Easton, Ford, EA Sports, ESPN and USA Weekend.
