Two new studio light tables from Kenro

Release Date: 19 August 2008



Kenro has announced the UK release of two new studio light tables with built-in light stands.

These new additions to Kenro's wide range of studio lighting equipment are ideal for product shots and close-up photography where shadow-free reproduction is required.

The units feature three arms designed for the attachment of flash or continuous heads. The direction of the light source can easily be adjusted from all directions as the arms allow for over and under product illumination.

Each table features a curved acrylic board that creates the illusion of an endless horizon; this means the subject appears to float against the background. One side of the board is glossy and the other side has a matt finish to allow for different effects. Coloured foils or velvets can easily be attached to the board to create a more unusual backdrop.

The tables are available in two sizes, 122cm x 183cm (4 x 6ft) or 76cm x 128cm (2.5 x 4ft). Both the large and small tables are available on their own or as part of a kit. Each kit comprises of a table, including 3 arms, plus three Kenro Slim Light 300 Heads.

Paul Kench, Kenro's managing director, says: "These products extend our range of quality Light Tables for the pro and semi-pro photographer. If you are thinking of earning money from small object, table-top photography, then this...

Richard Edson at L.A. Center for Digital Art

Los Angeles Center for Digital Art presents:

Richard Edson "Beyond the Valley of the Micro-Bops "

March 13-April 5, 2008
Reception Thursday, March 13, 7-9pm
(in conjunction with the Downtown Art Walk)



Richard Edson's toy figures are meticulously shot at an intensely close range under very specialized lighting conditions to emphasize their shape, color, "toyness" and their relationship to a monochromatic or multi-chromatic background. Since the figures are so small and shot with a macro lens (with an elaborate series of tube expanders) the focal plane is extremely narrow, allowing only a tight area where part of the figure is in focus. This creates an odd and not unpleasant sense of space, displacement and fission. The effect brings the tiny objects into a larger than life existence, where dynamic worlds are elicited full of what the artist calls "dreams, visions, or solutions to problems not yet even imagined."

Looking at these simple figures as photographed through the macro lens one is impressed by the their depth and humanity, and the more one looks the greater the illusion becomes. What were once crude postures and expressions "factory carved" in plastic are now repositories of secret emotion and (often humorous) feelings that surprise us with their mournful outstretched arms, plaintive gazes and sometimes fierce aggression. The contrast between the cartoon-like quality of the figurines and the seriousness of their respective "dramas" has to make one...

Portable Studio Flash kit for under £400 from Kenro

Kenro Press Release

For digital photographers who aspire to shoot studio pictures like a true professional, Kenro has put together a portable flash kit that won't break the bank!

Comprising two powerful 300w mains or battery operated flash heads, lighting stands and umbrellas, the Kenro Compact 300 Flash kit is the ideal solution for any photographer looking for quality, durability and flexibility in a portable studio lighting kit.

With a suggested retail price of £395 excluding VAT, the kit even comes complete with its own carry cases.

Features include power control range of 6 f-stops, from 1-32 to full power plus dual power input, so the units can either be mains operated or work from an optional rechargeable Battery Pack. This provides a highly flexible solution to shoot outdoors or in areas where there is limited mains supply.

The ultra-compact flash heads are a new 'flat' concept of design and can be triggered by a synch cord, radio or infra-red device, giving them the flexibility of many high-end professional units.

In addition, the 'daylight' LED modelling lamp is dimmed according to the proportion of the flash power selected, so that you'll be able to see the kind of effect the flash will give; very useful when visually assessing the lighting ratios when multiple light sources are used.

The heads have a very usable Guide number of 22m (ISO100), recycling time 1.2 secs on full power, and the three section stands extend to a...
