I’d like to share with you 5 of my favourite photos from the last year and tell you how they were created. I mostly shoot female portraits in which I kind of transform women into muses, fairies, and wild women. And there’s usually a touch of glitter! I like bright eyes and I consider them to be one of the most important things in a portrait. That’s why I can’t do without reflector panels which help me get light into eyes. If there is no natural light, I rely on LED lights – most often FOMEI LED RING SMD 23W and FOMEI LED LIGHT SLIM 15W.

I’d like to introduce you to five of my pictures, each of them accompanied with a short text. They are not necessarily my best photos but I’ve chosen them because I find them interesting. To be honest, I’m not quite sure that I would be able to pick five best photos of mine because I try to keep improving and that makes me look at my old shots in a different light.

Studio equipment can be used even in daylight to help you reach the right effect in your picture. David Šanda shoots a lot of outdoor photography – it may actually be what he does most – and now he’s written an article about using reflector panels in the countryside for you.

LED lights have recently became a big phenomenon - the internet is literally flooded by them. But how do you choose a right LED light for your photography? Barring the importance of good characteristics - the company from which you are buying the light from is also important. Because after the purchease the cooperation with the company is also important.  

The deadline frequently represents the biggest motivation. At least for Dan Vojtěch in the moment when he found out that the deadline for entry in the Red Bull Illumme competition is near. And because having new photography for every competition is important for Dan, he had to quickly come up with two projects where he could use light in some creative way.

A unique modular print software was designed to make the way from image data to photography easier for the user. On a well-arranged screen are intuitive control elements arranged for a most effective process: OPEN > EDIT > PRINT.

Every binocular is a complex optical device and requires a specific kind of treatment. It's important to be careful not only when you're choosing a binocular, but also with its handling and maintenance. And that's why we've prepared a guide about how to clean binoculars and riflescopes.    

After a long and thorough development, we are launching FOMEI Click Box quick folding softboxes, including Zoom boom technology. Softboxes are made of lightweight and strong materials, with an emphasis on durability and quality. The folding mechanism is unique and patented. Great for all photographers and video cameras who need to have a fast-paced complete scene, or for those who just don't like the classic way of folding wires to speed ring.
