Talented sports photographer and Westcott Top Pro Matt Hernandez takes viewers behind the scenes of a dramatic senior portrait photo shoot at sunset with the Zeppelin Deep Parabolic softbox and the Zeppelin Mounting Arm.
Matt choose to shoot this high school football player at dusk, allowing him to capture a beautiful sky in the background of these portraits. Shooting later in the day also allows photographers to create more dramatic lighting.
By utilizing the Zeppelin’s controlled light output, Matt is able to precisely illuminate his subject without spilling light onto the field. To learn more about the Zeppelin Deep Parabolic, please visit

Nice tutorial. I want to give this a shot (no pun intended).
By the way, you remind me of Lucas Black.
Great, great photo!!
Typical teen smirking in the background
Technically the stadium lights are helping so it not just "one light"
Legend has it police are still looking to question the photog about how the subject got so oily.
Who knows this guy's name?
In what setting did you have your white balance?
Do you happen to remember your camera setting? Or what do you recommend shooting at?
One light works well if you have stadium lighting to use as rim lighting!
How nice that you put the camera-
Nice shots!
No one is shocked by the camera which is filming , getting insane sky in terms of cinematography thats lit !
do you have those pictures in a downloadable format? im trying to teach high school kids about video/photography
Just for disclosure purposes, the parabola from Westcott runs $699. I don't think I even need to look at the pricing for the Profoto gear which is equally astronomical. C'mon people, you can do more with less. This is for people that slap themselves on the back for the amount they spent on their gear.
bro, You mean , you did not go High Speed Sync??
Why would you dislike this video. It's awesome!
Nice had an Einstein in it nice.
LOL, that's one heck of a "one light."
YES!
