What lighting equipment you use?

I am a huge fan of strobist style lighting.
I always have 4-5 speedlites with me.
It's amazing what these little things can do!
I use softboxes, octaboxes, light panels, umbrellas, stands, clamps, reflectors, gels... too much to list.
I have most of my equipment with me on every shoot
because I like to be prepared for any lighting conditions.

I am always aiming to get as close to perfection in camera as possible.
For me quality always comes first.
I am using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom software
together with Alien Skin, Nik Software and OnOne plug-ins.

Studio or on location?

I prefer shooting on location but I also like the quality and purity
that I can achieve in the studio.
