Australian wedding photographer, Jonathan Dear brings us some lovely winter images (Australian winter currently) he lensed recently as part of a model’s portfolio build. All the following images were lit with the white 22″ mola demi with stacked central OPAL + PAD diffusers. Either the diffusion sock was used to get some really sort subtle lighting for fill or the white 22″ mola FLXgrid was used for some more angled light.

New Zealand fashion photographer and regular contributor Fiona Quinn, is back with this gorgeous shoot titled ‘One Fine Day’ shot for Remix Magazine.

“I am a bit of a collector so this shoot was a chance to use some of my vintage retro pieces. Laura Jade goes from daytime Diva to Night time Vixen – not many people can look like that in a catsuit!”

In this shoot Fiona rocks the white 28″ Mola Setti, either diffused with the standard sock or unsocked. As usual, we love her soft subtle lighting and styling.

A few more words on her blogpost from this shoot.

Wow so its been a while. It’s good to be back!

New Zealand fashion photographer, Fiona Quinn, recently ran a fashion photography workshop.

“This time we explored shooting for different magazine genres and working with new season Winter trends to produce shots that are current and fashion forward. Both shots use simple lighting techniques but produce quite different results.” she says.

here are some final images Fiona provided us with as well as a behind-the-scenes shot of her setup. In this case we see her using a white 28″ Mola Setti.

and her lovely as always results…

and some further shots from the workshop available on her blogpost here from the day.

“Our Workshop on May the 6th is all booked up but if you are interested in a future Workshop get in touch with me through my website contact form and I will send you all the information and let you know when the next one is. We may run one more before Winter sets in otherwise it will likely be later in the year.

You get to meet my amazing team and learn how to create a successful fashion shoot from start to finish.”

Fiona Quinn makes a trip over for Spring in Sydney, shooting the editorial ‘The Forest’, for the summer edition of M2 Women’s Magazine.

“I wanted this shoot to be soft and a little earthy – working with the natural light and subtle lighting – colours and textures and a natural environment.” says Fiona.

Fiona lights these portraits with a white 22″ Mola Demi with stacked PAD + OPAL diffusers and varying use of the diffusion sock. Once again we love her subtle use of Demi fill outdoors.

Further thoughts and behind-the-scenes photos are here and here on her personal blog.fionaquinn.co.nz.

Heading into summer down in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand photographer and frequent contributor Fiona Quinn is back with a stunning black-sand shoot. ‘Other World’ was an editorial for M2 Woman’s Magazine. Fiona lit these photos with a white 22″ Mola Demi with PAD deflector, unsocked except for the last closeup where the diffusion sock was used.

Again make sure you check out Fiona’s blogpost on the shoot here.

We look forward to seeing summer through the eyes of Fiona in the coming months!

Fiona Quinn makes our heart skip a beat again with her beautiful rendition of her ‘Veuve Noir’ shoot published in M2 Womans Magazine. Fiona lit this with a white 28″ Mola Setti, shot in studio at Kingsize Studios in Auckland, NZ.
More workshops are planned for early 2012 by Fiona in New Zealand – make sure you get a chance to read up on them on her blog (includes previous workshop images)

More thoughts and images on Fiona’s Veuve Noir blog post here.

We recently came across a lovely shoot  by talented Indianapolis fashion photographer, Polina Osherov. Here Polina uses a speedlight mounted on the Mola Lumi bracket with the 22″ Demi.

“For lighting, I used my Mola beauty dish as the key light and filled either with available light or one of my speedlights bounced off a reflector. The hair light was either John’s video light or one of my AB800s with the snoot modifier.”

One of the advantages of using a speedlight with a softlight, such as the 22″ Demi, is the ability to produce really low lighting (without the need to use ND {neutral density} filters over more powerful lights) and the compact, portable nature of such a setup.

Read up on their thoughts from the shoot on their blog post here.
