Generally no. Unless you position your fill light directly behind your camera, and most photographers do not do that, you’ll probably continue to light just as you always have, although with the system, you will probably want to be more creative with your lighting to match the scene you are creating. Many photographers using the system add barndoors and louvers to their lighting so they can be even more creative. With the new screen, there are virtually no restrictions on lighting.

Many photographers think that they can’t use a Virtual Backgrounds because their camera room space is so limited. In reality, the smaller your studio space, the more you need the system. Really large studios have room for setting up entirely different sets that the subject is photographed in. Of course, Virtual Backgrounds are an infinitely more efficient way to inject variety into a sitting.

The Virtual Backgrounds system is a precision optical flash projector that is designed to mate with most film or digital professional cameras. Any photographic transparency and a variety of other light modifiers can be inserted into the projector to create an infinite variety of background images on a special ultra-reflective screen positioned behind the subject. The background is captured on film at the exact same moment the subject is captured.

Almost all images on our website were taken with a three light setup, using a main light, a fill and a hair light. Please email me if you’d like details.

Most photographers want to be distinctively different from their colleagues in the products they offer the public and they want to be highly creative. At the same time, the public wants distinctive new ideas in the professional photography they purchase. They don’t want yesterday’s photography today. And, the photographer wants to make money and have fun doing it.. The Virtual Backgrounds user has the potential to fulfill these needs and more.

To use backgrounds, click on "Get Backgrounds" on the left hand side. When the window shows up, scroll through the backgrounds and click on the ones you would like to use. When you are done selecting, click on the "Done" button on the bottom right and you will see the backgrounds on the left hand side bar. You may also use your own background picture.

Task lighting is the concept of providing the correct amount of light for the task being performed. It does not require the same amount of light to walk down an isle or run a copy machine as it does to read a type written page, so why light the entire environment? When utilizing task lighting, the general light level in the facility is lowered thus creating a softer, more pleasant atmosphere and saving energy.

It may be necessary to use a small, on-camera light during the reception because of the low available light in most halls, but lights are never used at the ceremony.

Yes. All the kits come with a white background, but we also sell a range of 31 different colored paper backgrounds. You can also use other materials such as fabric, wood, slate, metal etc. The choice is yours. The extra large floor space allows the photographer to create entire scenes or vignettes.

Important: Currently neither the "Pack and Go" function or Microsoft's PowerPoint Viewer support Active X controls. To use animated backgrounds in your PowerPoint presentations you must have PowerPoint 97 +. Consult your product user's guide for more details. This may result in your animations not playing under certain viewers. The default seems to be -1 in the properties box after you insert your Active X control and point it at a flash/shockwave file.

Ordinary studio photography is really quite simple to learn. Most retail studios train their new photographers to do standard head and shoulder photography in just a few days. The use of Virtual Backgrounds opens up entirely new dimensions that require a greater level of photographer expertise. This involves the selection of appropriate backgrounds, the selection of props, and the proper posing of the subject in more than simple poses.

All of our Quick Connect fixtures ( pendants or track heads) will work on the Monopoints and Multipoints.

What you want to look for in getting florescent studio lighting is something between 5000 - 5500 Kelvin. Degrees Kelvin is the temperature of the light and determines it's color. 3200 Kelvin is tungsten light and 5000 -- 5500 is equivalent to north light. I use Sylvania 5000 myself and have also used Vita Light, though those are about twice the price. You can even shoot with daylight film under such lights since they are the same as daylight.

We have various effects' lighting, most of which moves, turns, and flashes to the beat of the music. Some effects create various beams of light which look amazing with a fog machine. We also have flashing Par Can type lights and mirror ball effects. All lighting power is controlled by the DJ and can be dimmed, switched off etc. At the request of people. IE for speeches, toasts etc. All our lighting is of the highest quality and safety.

We have a selection of coloured lighting special effects to create a party ambience at your venue. A smoke machine used sensibly can dramatically enhance the lighting effect on the dancefloor, and is available upon request when booking at no extra charge, however please check in advance that your venue allow the use of smoke.

Not normally as again this is not always allowed during the service and can distract, I do use some limited lighting for the speeches latter in the day as the natural light is fading.
