As shared by Bron in their April 2026 newsletter.

This is a short BTS/how-to on lighting a shot of a Sinar technical camera in the studio.

The photographer is lighting with a masked 120cm x 180cm masked softbox, a Picolite + projection attachment, an Octabox, and the lights being driven by Move 1200 L and Senso 2400 generators.

There's nothing particularly groundbreaking about the gear or techniques being used, but rather just applying the fundamentals of controlling light to highlight the subject details in a desired way.

I did these using two lights with scrims to give me gradient reflections. I clean up the obvious dust and other imperfections. One thing I’m wondering about is where the liquid moves around the glass and leaves residue. I try to get it wiped out really well before I push the button. Does have to be all removed? I feel like that’s the nature of real life and something that might not be in generated images.

2 Pulso heads sometimes bare other times with a P70 reflector behind the scrims and some with a square softbox overhead.

Not sure where to post this to get the best response, but anyone ever seen this? Pack is leaking what seems to be oil from the bottom? Still shoots fine (obviously not actually using it). Anyone ever seen this??
