German Photographer??Ralph Man, brings us a lovely shoot today using the 33″ Mola Beamm softlight. Although we have quite a few Beamm’s out there, we seldom see photos from this unique modifier. It’s polished interior gives it a more concentrated and directional light, unlike any of the other larger Mola range. We love the direction and styling in this shoot… more of Ralph’s own work at www.ralph-man.com.

This is the exploded diagram that ships with the Mola Softlights, on how to setup your mola from shipment.

During the 31st International Motorcycling Meeting in Faro, Portugal, they approached bikers to make non-traditional portraits of them.

Doing away with makeup, fashion and possibly every hint of conventional fashion beauty, they photograph some tough-looking bikers. In fact they were all very kind and very interested […]
