Lighten up

Clive,

These lights are for the purpose of illuminating the area of my studio where I paint. My north light is obstructed by trees and sometimes I need more light than my windows provide.

When I take my reference photos I use strobe lights. The reason I use these lights is to compensate for the difference between the way film and the human eye perceive reality.

I have previously gone into some detail about this subject in other strings.

I wouldn't recommend using these lights to light the model unless you want a very diffused soft light.
