Speedlites can be used with a variety of modifiers to achieve professional results. In this home studio setup, we used an Ezybox and an Umbrella box, both from Lastolite, to transform the harsh light of the speedlites into soft illumination for our model.

Beauty Setup - Speedlites are handy to move into different setups. In contrast with big studio lights, speedlites do not heat up and are very light. Changing the whole installation to go from a full body portrait to a beauty close-up only takes a few minutes. Note here the use of 3 speedlites: Above, below and behind (purple) the model. Using the ratio function it's easy to adapt the lighting for the different situations without the need of a flash meter.
