This really sets the bar for senior sports portraits. To bring his creative vision to life for this shoot, talented photographer Matt Hernandez needed to completely ย control his lighting.
Photographing this young swimmer in the center of a high school pool, Matt decided to modify his strobe with the 59โณ Zeppelin Deep Parabolic softbox.
This large modifier features a deep profile and highly-reflective interior.ย Theย Zeppelin Parabolic is available in a 35″, 47″, and 59″ version, eachย equipped with high-quality construction and needlework, 16 durable lightweight and heat-resistant rods, a 1/2-stop inner diffusion panel with a 1/2-stop center dot to eliminate hot spots, a single sheet outer diffusion panel, and a travel case. The Zeppelin is equipped with a zippered entry point, serving as a second light head mounting option.
The 59″ Zeppelin is the largest in the series, creating the biggest and broadest light source.ย The Zeppelin’s parabolic design provides a vast light output with fast light falloff, allowing Matt to illuminate his subject and close surroundings dramatically without a lighting up the distracting background.ย
Matt mixes thisย precise illumination with blue gelled strobes to capture these truly stunning senior sports portraits.
