They are marketed to video recording professionals & enthusiasts but have many crossover applications.
They allow me to photograph a small GK using the same techniques I would apply lighting a real life model in a photo studio. They are rechargeable, so no wires to deal with and their small size makes it kind of easy to fabricate the same type of light modifiers used with full size lighting, only in miniature (barn doors, snoots, grids, softboxes, etc.). These little units make it very easy to manipulate lighting ratios, positioning and colors to achieve some dramatic effects right on the table top.
I also found a small LED worklight at the local hardware store that I can use for tabletop soft lighting effects. I fabricated a clip-on grid to add some directional control for it when needed.
P.S....The model is a slightly modified NY3DCreations’ 1/8 scale Avengers Black Widow. The white vinyl graphics were applied to a piece of black plex. Then mounted to old Horizon resin base sections.
Cheers!
