Take your portraits to the next level using PavoTubes and continuous LED lighting!

Watch as I create these dramatically lit portraits of Elisabeth using multiple LED lights, including 4 Nanlite Pavotubes II 30C wrapped around her in the shape of a diamond and a Forza 720 overhead with a 90cm Parabolic softbox.

Second. John’s videos are very good, I learn a lot every time

[@JohnGress]

Thank you so much! I used your software to do some body reshaping on this shoot.

[@vonpotatostein]

Beautiful and amazing photos John!! Pavotubes are too much fun!!! I started to gravitate to LED more and more and now I have 2 Pavotubes, a Forza 60 and an FS60B also I got the projection unit and the fresnel too! It is so liberating to shoot in such a WYSIWYG!!!

[@JohnGress]

Thanks! That projector is really efficient compared to optical snoots too.

[@Neopulse00]

Love those Pavo Tubes. I do personally want them, but gotta get some other like necessary modifiers first. 1 Large and 1 XL white umbrellas with diffusion and a 2 spotlight modifiers like the Westcott one. Definitely 4 Pavo Tubes are a necessity I'd say given their versatility.

[@JohnGress]

You can get great deals on Optical snoots on Amazon and Ali Express that are essentially the same for half the price.

[@TheDanBurgess]

This is great stuff - thank you! I'd love to see how you mix Pavo Tubes with flash main light instead of constant light.

[@JohnGress]

Thanks! Funny you should mention that. We’ll sort of. This video mixes led with flash. Mixing flash with colored continuous LED light during a fashion photoshoot - Lighting Tutorial
