  • In this video I'm gonna be reviewing the new Profoto OCF beauty dishes as well

  • as give you a firsthand look into how we shot and lit our recent James Dean

  • inspired wedding photo shoot.

  • What's up everybody? My name is Pye Jirsa of Lin & Jirsa photography and SLR Lounge.

  • In this video we're talking about the new OCF Beauty Dishes for which we have two.

  • We have the silver and we have the white. Both of these beauty dish modifiers fit

  • into a tiny bag. They weigh less than a pound and they can be tucked virtually

  • anywhere in your gear bag. The portability and ease of use is

  • incredible but what's even more fantastic is the price point. These

  • beauty dishes come in at around $180. Let's talk about the shoot

  • and the images. Now this was a personal shoot and for it I wanted to see just

  • how much quality I could squeeze out of my newly acquired Canon 5DS as well as

  • my new Zeiss Otus 55mm and 85mm lenses which are arguably the

  • standard in still photography primes. Usually when I'm shooting wide open

  • apertures in the middle of the day I like to use ND filters over my lenses

  • because they help me to bring down the amount of light and stay below the 1/200

  • of a second sync speed to get the most power out of my flash systems.

  • But for this shoot I knew that if I were to use a ND filter it would

  • automatically compromise the quality of the images that I'm getting out of the

  • Zeiss Otus lenses right from the start

  • regardless of the quality of ND filter that I use. This is where the Profoto B1

  • and B2 really shine because running in high-speed sync we can still get

  • significantly more power out of these strobes then comparing it to regular

  • flashes running high speed sync. In fact, we use the B2 on this shoot in

  • at 250 Ws. In high-speed sync you're gonna be still getting four to five

  • times the amount of power than a standard flash running high speed sync.

  • For the light modifier I often use the silver beauty dish simply because we're

  • shooting in such a bright scene and the silver is gonna get me a little bit more

  • light intensity. For the shoot the lighting is actually fairly simple. We

  • place our subjects backs, for the most part, against the sun. So we're using the

  • sun as basically a backlight or a rim light for the entire scene. Inside of the

  • frame I'm composing my frame with the subject that's placed over the slightly

  • darker background of the mountains. This is what makes that edge light

  • really pop against the darker surface of the mountain. From there we add the B2 along with the

  • silver beauty dish and we light the subject at a pretty dramatic angle. What

  • we're trying to do is create and nice dimension and direction to that main

  • light. We want to control the light pattern by simply moving the subjects

  • face and body position to get the right light pattern onto the person. Also, at

  • that point, while using the B2 as our main light, we can use the ambient exposure

  • in the camera to also control the fill that's coming into the shadows on the

  • other side of the person's face. Keep in mind that I want these images to have kind

  • of that bright and airy wedding-esque feel so I chose an ambient exposure setting that

  • would keep the scene fairly bright and we got that at around 1/4000 of a second

  • f/2 and ISO 50. At that point though we simply add in the B2 at full

  • power with high-speed sync enabled and we're flashing and adjusting the light to

  • simply control the direction and to control the catchlight. Speaking of the catch-

  • -light in the eyes, we can zoom into these images and see that beautiful

  • beauty dish catchlight that's created from the OCF Beauty Dishes. Also, look at that

  • resolution! 50 megapixels with an incredibly sharp lens gets you images

  • that are absolutely breathtaking in terms of quality.

  • I hope you all enjoyed this video. Be sure to check out the new Profoto OCF

  • Beauty Dishes because I'm gonna go ahead and say that these are my new favorite

  • on-the-go light modifiers. Be sure to check out the article in the link below

  • you all in the next video.
