Today we look at the stunning Mola work from Garigosa Studios in Barcelona.
Behind Garrigosa Studio we find Joan Garrigosa (Photographer) and Alex Torrens (postproduction), a collaboration that exceeds 12 years. Both have adapted very well to the fast change from traditional photography to digital photography, where in the demanding world of advertising is taking more weight, especially with the entrance of the postproduction.
Joan began as a photographer doing social reportage, followed by industrial photo work. Gradually he started collaborating with some advertising agencies in Barcelona. After a while, greater versatility has allowed him to work in all photo fields and for all types of clients and projects, both domestic and international.
In this 2nd GUESS behind-the-scenes video of the GUESS Accessories Holiday 2010 Campaign, we spot a Mola 33.5″ Euro being used. Renowned photographer Yu Tsai again steps up and shows us how he lights for a high-end client such as GUESS.
In this behind-the-scenes video of the GUESS Accessories Spring / Summer 2010 photoshoot we see a Mola 33.5 Euro being used.
Under the direction of GUESS, Inc. Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Marciano, and renowned photographer Yu Tsai, the GUESS spring / summer Accessories campaign features Vanessa Hessler and Bruno Santos, who also appear in the GUESS Spring 2010 main campaign.
No doubt you have seen some of the images from this shoot already…

A few times in the video below, we spot more than 1 Mola in use at a time. From the look of things it looks like the Mola 33″ Euro.

and some of the gorgeous final images after the jump below…
Today we peek into the gallery of uber talented editorial photographer, Brad Trent. Just from the small sample of images Brad provided us below, you can see he is in high demand with his portrait work. Brad runs a New York studio called Damn Ugly Photography but his images are anything but.
We initially stumbled onto him back on a strobist blog post here, and found he had these words to say about Mola Softlights…
“I own… a 22″ Mola ‘Demi’, and we regularly rent the larger Mola Setti (28″) and Euro (33″) dishes. To me, they give you a much more interesting quality of light than simply tossing up a bank and they don’t generally have the problem of turning into sails when you find yourself out on a windy day! And with the Mola’s, the way they’re designed makes it much easier to get a soft light that still has a directional contrast to it. There is nothing I hate more than that ‘wall of light’ look….but then, when you look at my pictures you probably already guessed that!”
Today we look at some more gorgeous images from Toronto based fashion photographer Matt Baxter. Matt is a freelance photographer specialising in beauty, fashion and editorial work. He has a long list of clients spanning from over a decade of creating amazing imagery.
This time the following images were produced using both the white 22″ Mola Demi and the 33″ Mola Euro together.
Recently we released the Mola FlxGrid for the 22″ Demi which are currently available for purchase from Adorama and B&H or directly from Mola. The Flxgrid white will be available mid August.
We are excited to announce the new 25 and 45 degree grids for all of Mola’s beauty dishes courtesy of HoneyGrids. HoneyGrids are the only polycarbonate grid that are CUSTOM made for Mola.
Like the FlxGrids we have extensively tested the HoneyGrids for their rigiditiy, mounting and ability to cope with high temperatures. The grids are created to fit snugly inside the recessed outer lip of the dish and secured with velcro fasteners. The grids have an aluminum channel around the grid which adds strength and protection to the edges.
We tested the 28″ Setti Silver + HoneyGrid combo with a Joker 800 from K 5600 HMI lighting to test for temperature handling. The heat and light generated from these units is substantially higher than the modelling lights you would find on studio strobes. The tubular polycarbonate construction had no problem taking the heat!
We spot a 33″ Mola Euro in use by Toronto photographer, Chris Nicholls shooting for the Flare Magazine’s Fantasy Shoot. This was one of Flare’s biggest productions for a shoot and no attention to detail was spared! Brilliant stuff!
Californian commercial photographer Tim Gleason of Tim Gleason Photography creates some stunning images with his Mola’s. Tim’s specialty is in tabletop product photography and his advertising photography has appeared in publications ranging from Time Magazine and Sports Illustrated to Architectural Digest.
these 4 images are taken with a white 33″ Mola Euro…
