LA Fashion / Beauty Photographer David Nguyen is back kicking some serious pixels, this time in the form of a short promo video + stills. This video gives a fantastic insight into David’s journey into photography, his approach to it and how he shoots on location. You can check out the previous video we blogged here.

In the below video David mentions Mola at around the 2:00 mark…

… some final stills from some of the behind-the-scenes footage in the above video. These shots were taken using the 22″ Mola Demi.

Thanks David!

New Zealand photographer Fiona Quinn has provided us with some utterly gorgeous shots she has taken with the 22″ Mola Demi. Fiona reguarly shoots assignments in Australia and New Zealand, shooting fashion and editorial shoots.

I received my white Mola Demi about eight months ago after hiring
quite a few times from the local rental studio here. It's a great
product and I take it everywhere with me in NZ and Australia and the
easily changed speedring means I can use it on my Hensel Porty kit
along with my other lights.

The majority of photos on her website have been taken with the 22″ Demi or the 28″ Setti. She always uses the 22″ Demi on her outdoor shoots. If your down New Zealand way, she will be running some workshops later in the year, contact her for more details.

We initially came across Nick Dandalos’ stuninng work over at Modelmayhem. Nick is a London based fashion and glamour photographer with published work in a number of international men’s magazines.

Here are some his mola-lit shots:

In this gorgeous shot, Nick uses a clever technique of stacking 2 diffusers inside the Mola for a even softer centre-core of light. (We will discuss this technique in a later post) It was lit with a white 43.5″ Mola Mantti with stacked Opal + PAD diffusers, white sock and a fabric grid…

These other two shots were lit with a white 22″ Mola Demi with stacked Opal + PAD diffusers and a honeycomb grid…

more of Nick’s work is available at www.nickdandalos.com.

Incredible wedding / fashion photographer Walter Malabehar Cantu (of Kaizen Photo) is hosting a seminar on wedding photography and lighting on the 30th of January 2010 at Calumet Chicago. Walter has previously been featured on our ‘Who’s Using‘ section of the main Mola Light website. The seminar deals with a number of different lighting styles, but he will also cover Mola products.

Details on the seminar are here.

Also check out his blog for some mola-ry mention.

beauty shots with the 22″ Demi…

The NEW Mola Lumi tilt bracket was created to mount speedlights / lightweight strobes on the existing 22″ Mola Demi (sold seperately). The bracket mounts on alternative screws of the demi, allowing for easy removal of the interior diffuser. Included with the bracket design is a completely new Lumilux diffuser, specifically optimised for the output of these smaller strobe units to give you the trademark mola-light output.

Photos taken with the Lumi / Demi combo will be added to this blog shortly.

bracket includes a tilt-swivel head and 2 removable coldshoes…
