Grids should be an essential tool in every studio, especially if your space is on the smaller side. Sometimes called egg crates, grids on softboxes give the light more direction, reducing unwanted light spills and lowering the risk of lens flare. But there’s more to grids than that.
In this live-streamed photo session, Gavin Hoey tries out grids not just on softboxes but also on reflectors. He’ll explore how grid angles affect the light spread and share some creative lighting tips to make grids more than just a way to channel light. Of course, like any light modifier, grids can also cause unexpected issues, so Gavin will cover those as well.
As always, Gavin will squeeze as many real-world hints, tips, and lighting tricks into an hour as he can. Join the conversation, get your questions answered live, and help steer the session… or just watch along and enjoy.
