Swiss photographer Jessica Keller with broncolor produced a series of 4 videos, illustrating different styles to implement the new compact unit Siros in your photography.

After two indoor shootings, the team around Jessica enjoyed the summer during a fashion shoot in a forest. Location, styling, model and a fog machine created a scene like out of a fairytale. A huge soft box provided the beautiful soft light she wanted.

For the last episode of "Catching the Light" Jessica Keller returned to the studio and invited two dancers. Beside the short flash durations provided by the Siros she had a huge benefit from the short recycling times - she was able to shoot a lot of pictures as in the short time frame that the dancers were in the perfect position. The setup was quite large and some of the lights were on high stands - especially the assistant was happy that all the lights could be controlled with the bronControl app.
