Mastering your lighting setup is crucial for confidence as a wedding photographer. Having the right gear can make all the difference in both efficiency and quality.
Coming to you from Trevor Dayley with MagMod, this informative video showcases the must-have items in his lighting kit for wedding photography. Dayley emphasizes the importance of having versatile and reliable equipment, highlighting the MagMod Pro 24 Octa as his go-to softbox. This compact and portable softbox is perfect for quick shots and is easy to transport.
Dayley also recommends the MagMod Small Case for keeping everything organized and ready for action. This case is designed to hold all your essentials, including flashes, modifiers, and accessories, ensuring you have everything you need within reach.
One key piece of gear is the MagRing, which allows you to mount two flashes. This setup provides extra power, essential for shooting in low-light conditions or creating dramatic effects before sunset.
The MagSphere is another favorite modifier, known for its omnidirectional light output. It's great for both on-camera and off-camera use, softening the transition from light to shadow and adding a professional touch. Gels are another essential item in Dayley's setup. He carries correction gels to match the color of ambient light and creative gels for adding a splash of color to his photos. These gels are versatile and can be used to enhance the mood of a scene or create artistic effects.
Finally, Dayley highlights the importance of screw adapters. These small but essential items ensure you can securely mount your flashes and other accessories. They provide flexibility in positioning your gear, allowing you to adapt to different shooting scenarios. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Dayley.
