Talented French photography and film-making team, Epaillard and Machado, bring us a very interesting project they recently lensed. During the 31st International Motorcycling Meeting in Faro, Portugal, they approached bikers to make non-traditional portraits of them. This event attracts some 80,000 people each year so they weren’t short on subjects to photograph!

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 in our project…so we plan to go back next year (with our Mola for sure :))

They photographed these unconventional portraits with a white 22″ mola demi and white flxGrid.
Here’s a bts video of them in action…

Saludo to our Spanish friends!

In this bts video we see Barcelona photographer Pere Larregula shoot with some of the Mola range at the Spanish Llumm studios, courtesy of Innovofoto distribution. At the 3:00 minute mark he talks about his experience with Mola from the shoot. Some stunning results from a talented shooter!

Even if you don’t understand Spanish, its great viewing to see how Pere goes about his shots. In Pere’s blog post from this test shoot,

He mentions how the undulated rippled design of the mola soft lights, produces a more realistic, dimensional light which is less flat than other softlights. Certainly when working with medium format, he can notice a difference in the skin and clothing detail from images produced with the Mola range.

The following video has been put together by photographer Daniel Torrello…

and here is some still images from the shoot:

In this behind-the-scenes video of Australian male model Andrej Pejic shooting for Fashion Magazine, we spot a 22″ Mola Demi being used. It’s a white Demi with stacked PAD and Opal diffusers with the Vented Light Weight Diffuser, lit with the Profoto ProDaylight 800w HMI continuous light. The combination of continuous light and Mola Softlights means you can shoot seamlessly between stills and video without compromising on your light quality.

Shot at S1 Studios in Toronto, Canada by Moo King.

We’ll chat more about using continuous lighting and Mola in coming posts.
