Roaming lighting rigs – No power, no problem

For occasions where roaming or highly mobile fast moving lighting is required or where there is no power source we have a number of radio controlled, battery powered off camera and on camera lighting rigs and portable backdrops suitable for any commercial or private location.

Mobile studio space and set up requirements

We have four basic on location studio and lighting set ups:

1) Large studio lighting rig – For large events, groups, couples, full body portraits and large product photography

Minimum space required is 12ft x 16ft or 12 ft x 12ft depending on the set up, with access to power-points.

Set up comprises a rig of up to 6 radio controlled mono block studio lights with modifiers and 6 radio controlled off camera speed-lites, softboxes, grids, gels, gobos, smoke machines props and fans and a large variety of backgrounds and backdrops.

For “Hi Key” 100% pure white backgrounds we use illuminated “Hi lite” backgrounds with optional white vinyl floor covering / train for full body length and group photos. Space required approx 12 x 16ft.  If no train or floor covering is required a min space of approx 12ft x 12ft is needed. Our large free standing illuminated “Hi-lite-High Key” background is 8 x 7ft . Our smaller free standing illuminated “Hi-lite-High Key” background is 6 x 7ft. Hi Lite illuminated backgrounds allow the subject to stand close to the background without casting a shadow or using a background light to the rear, so taking up less space.

Our seamless non reflective paper / fabric backgrounds are available in multiple colours and patterns on rolls. Supported by an adjustable support system they are available in multiple widths from approximately 1.35mts, 2.08 mts, 2.72mts and extra wide at 3.56 mts with roll lengths up to 35mts. Colours, widths, lengths and availability may alter. We also have a large selection of collapsable / pop up urban and grunge backgrounds.

2) Medium studio lighting rig – For events, half body portraits, headshots, smaller products and interiors

A minimum space of approx 10ft x 11ft is needed with access to power-points.

Used for shoots where less space is available or shoots requiring smaller backdrops or no backdrops at all.   To produce 100% pure white “Hi Key” backgrounds on shoots with smaller spaces we use a 137 cm Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox as the illuminated (lit) background powered by a single Elinchrom mono block studio head. If full body shots are required a little more space may be needed and we may use our smaller free standing illuminated “Hi-lite-High Key” background  which is 6 x 7ft. Our non reflective paper / fabric backgrounds in multiple colours and patterns on rolls with adjustable support system are available from approximately 1.35mts, 2.08 mts, 2.72mts and extra wide at 3.56 mts. Colours, widths and availability may alter.

3) Small studio lighting rig – For small spaces, difficult access locations or no power points

May require a space as little as 6ft x 6ft.

Uses radio controlled battery powered speedlite flashes, small softbox light modifiers or shoot through umbrellas. Normally used where space is at a premium, access is difficult or there is no power source available. Suitable for events, portraits, headshots, small products, interiors, fashion and food photography.  Employs small or pop up backgrounds or no background at all in combination with multiple off camera flash setups or single unit on camera flash setups. This set up can also be used to photograph stage presentations, groups or awards etc.

4) Roaming lighting setup

100% pure white illuminated “High Key” backgrounds:

For live events, portraits, executive head shots, fashion, product and still life shoots we use the latest  “High Key” lighting technology to produce 100% pure white backgrounds. Our rear lit illuminated Hi-Lite backgrounds are available in two different sizes from 6 x 7ft  to 8 x 7ft  and allow us to produce the highest quality “High Key” photography on location and in restrictive spaces. By rear lighting the white background itself there is no longer a need to use a background light behind the subject. Furthermore, because the background is actually illuminated it means the subject can stand virtually right in front of it without casting a shadow. We also attach full length white vinyl trains to our Hi -Lite backgrounds enabling full length and group shots for events, portraiture, fashion or product shots. 

Low Key and Mid Key backgrounds:

Need Low Key or Mid keys shots? No problem. We are able to quickly switch from a high key to a low or mid key lighting environment on location in a matter of minutes if required. Our “Hi-Lite” illuminated back grounds have black reverse sides for “Low Key” photography and can be used as a grey background if not illuminated, making it very quick and easy to get a variety of different looks from the same background or we can use our large selection paper and fabric backgrounds.
