Shooting a white background has been a staple in my headshot work since I created my signature look 20 years ago. Every portrait photographer should have in their wheelhouse the ability to evenly light a white background utilizing strobes. Here I'm putting Westcott's FJ-400 to the test as I use my trial and error technique to navigate the functionality of the unit and the FJ-X2m Universal Wireless Flash Trigger.

I bought 4 of them and love them. Of course there is a bit of a learning curve.
I love using a white background! Always get my best studio results with white. Then....im in the studio this morning, and my partner has your book, The Headshot on the counter...so I sit and start reading..ive never been so inspired by written words!
I'm more inpressed with that, Panerai, Peter!
Peter is one of my favorites, I like his work but I like the child like joy he gets with everything!
I learn all the time with these type of videos because that is the only avenue I have without having anyone to practice on.
Well done! Love your style. I am still using my old school packs, strobe heads, and metering. FJ 400’s coming soon for location stuff. Would love for you to do a video on how you are tethering using Capture. Once again, love your presentation style.
Awesome man!
Great video!! I feel like you are me in dude form! Anyone have a hard time with the FJ400 going back to 1.0 each time after you've fired a shot on manual?
The app is cool also
I've never owned strobes and only own a 69$ Neewer lights from Amazon. I'm keen to get more and more into studio photography, fashion, product and on location lighting. The FJ400 as really caught my eye and I'm hoping to scoop some up during black Friday... Fingers crossed.. Nice PAM btw.
The jump from Neewer to these is significant. Although I use another brand, these are an amazing value for price/performance including an American warranty compared to the Chinese alternatives.
Love the editing. Makes you more down to Earth man.
Its exactly the same like the Rollei Freeze 4s or the Jinbei with 400 Ws...just a other company name on it
I use this flash, but it name - jinbei 400pro :)
While they look identical, they actually are different. I own both.
I have been curious and wescott won’t answer lol. Will the strobes fire with either brand trigger?
What are you shooting with?
Canon EOSR5
@@peter_hurley thats what it looked like but i couldnt tell, i tested it out on the canon road trip, thats a crazy camera!
can anyone tell how to make that grey background white? :)
The color or tone of the background doesn't matter. If you put enough light on it, ANY color background will go white. Even black. It might take A LOT of light but it can be done.
@@mikecollins5261 thanks
