Luis Aragon is a DC based fashion and beauty photographer and cofounder of studio400, a 3,000 sf. photography studio in Lorton, VA. Together with his wife Kathy Aragon, a hair stylist and make-up artist they began to build a clean yet »raw« esthetic that got them both recognized quickly by major agencies in New York. The work they produced together really reflected the best of their models.

Today, Luis maintains a reputation for understanding the delicate balance needed to create a quality beauty image or details and mood needed to help his advertising clients bring their brand to the next level.

All images were taken with the Mola Demi – White.

Spotted! In this behind the scenes video we spot photographer Yu Tsai shooting Ke$ha for Blackbook. In this video we spot a 22″ white Mola Demi and a 33″ white Mola Euro. As with all his shoots Yu always has fun.

New Zealand Fashion photographer, Fiona Quinn is back! Today she brings us a gorgeous editorial she shot for New Zealand’s M2 Magazine, titled ‘Desert Sun’. In this outdoor shoot she uses a single white 22″ Mola Demi beauty dish with her Hensel lighting.

I get asked a lot about my location lighting with Mola as its more subtle than a lot of people are used to seeing with location lighting – that is the beauty of Mola as it’s both clean, contrasty and soft at the same time; if that even makes sense and its very easy to use it to work with the natural light rather than competing against it

Today the lovely Emily Soto brings us a shoot with british actor, Gregg Sulkin. For this shoot for Glamaholic Magazine, Emily uses the 22″ white mola demi and the 28″ white mola setti softlights.

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…

Australian wedding photographer, Jonathan Dear brings us some lovely wedding day images he has created with the white 22″ Mola Demi.

“I love the portability of the Demi. I have tried soft-boxes, umbrellas and wide reflectors over the years but nothing compares to the Mola Demi. I can have it setup real fast and I don’t have to worry about wind outdoors.”

He uses a lightweight 600w Profoto lithium pack with the Demi mounted on a boom-stick and held by an assistant.

“It means I can move around alot, a sort of run and gun style shooting which is essential for the fast paced nature of a wedding day.” 

“I even use it for the family formal photos on the wedding day, and I’m able to get quite alot of spread out of it.”

Most of the time he uses his Demi unsocked, with either an OPAL or stacked OPAL + PAD centre diffuser configuration.

Here’s some of his images taken with the 22″ Demi…
