According to the popularity of our LED ROLL series, we would like to introduce four new lights. Now you can choose from six types, starting with the smallest size 21x21 cm and ending with the largest and most powerful panel 46x121 cm. A technological novelty is an RGB variant with film effects and a radio controller. The main advantages of these lights are flexibility, power and weight. They can be used by both filmmakers and photographers. All new lights are delivered in padded bags, which can hold both the light itself and its most important accessories. We also offer optional softboxes with honeycombs for every light.

Article for beginner photographers. The market offers a huge number of LED lights and I am very often asked the following questions: “Shall I get a LED light or a flash?” or “What do you prefer? A continuous light or a flash?” I always try to explain it as clear as possible, but I don’t always succeed. That’s why I thought I could try to put it all together here. I hope I’ll manage to shed some light on this topic because many people clearly struggle with it.

It’s time to post something new on our blog. Katka (IG: kacaduch) and I locked ourselves in the studio for a while and then I wrote down a few tips for studio shooting based on my experience. I did almost no retouching to the photos, except for a few cosmetic defects, which I believe you will forgive me. I will be happy if this article serves as inspiration or broadens our readers’ minds. I will appreciate your feedback in the comments.

Writing a few words about my job or talking about it is always a challenge and I very much appreciate this opportunity. I want to thank the guys from FOMEI for their support and positive attitude. I mainly focus on portrait, lifestyle, and sports photography and for this occasion I chose the photos I enjoyed creating the most. In the following lines I will try to tell you their story and explain how I set my equipment to take them.

Radovan Bartek is a professional freelance photographer and retoucher. He works in a very close cooperation with Stanislav Petera. He is a retouch and montage lecturer at Light Garden Academy. Most of all, he enjoys taking creative cinematic photos. Here you can have a look at some of them and read about how they were made.

My friends from FOMEI asked me if I’d like to present 5 photos of mine. I accepted this offer, but writing is not really my thing, so please take that into account while reading my comments to the photos. I’m quite a good photographer but a pretty lousy writer.

So now it’s my turn to share some of my work with you and to tell you about the creation process. I made the selection out of all my photos I took in the last few years. I think these five represent me well and, at the same, there is a story behind each of them which is worth mentioning.

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.
