Was fortunate enough for this photo to be chosen by Broncolor for inclusion in their new Para Brochure. It shows the work of 18 photographers from around the world.

Back on 'the other forum', a short time ago ImageMaker and I got into a brief discussion about the Broncolor Para modifiers, and he listed a video by Karl Taylor with a very good video comparing modifiers. It gave me a good appreciation of the versatility of the Para, compared to what I had grow accustomed to using during my active studio days over two decades ago, before the Para was introduced.

Paras are amazing modifiers. Makes much of the work effortless in studio. Will have to apologize to my 8th grade math teacher. I am using Euclidean Geometry as an adult. They are true parabolic umbrellas which makes the magic happen.

Clothing pops too.

Thank you, ImageMaker! This kind of light modifier is really versatile!

Expensive gear. But, after your first photo using one, you’ll never think about the cost anymore. Value exceeds the cost by a long shot.

I seem to always use them on shoots. Even as a reflector. Para 222 on left with strobe turned off. Used only as a reflector. Broncolor 180cm/6 foot striplight horizontal at models head height coming back to camera to get some wrap around model:

A variation. Para 222 feathered and focused to taste.

Clothing/fashions look nice with that giant Para

Full length fashion & beauty is the forte of the big Para 222. You can create a bit of drama placing it next to camera. In the case left of camera, pointed at the model. Focused to gain more shadow.

Para 222 working just fine here in Taipei, Taiwan

The big Para 222 allows a model more freedom of movement in studio.
