    I love dramatic and dynamic shots. Of course, my favorite way to add impact to my images is to use shadow and movement in the images. I mainly shoot still life, so adding harsh shadow with some shape (like windows or through plants) will make the image standout and made me easier to direct the viewer into my subject. I also very inspired by the harsh shadow that sunlight made in through my house. On the other hand, i love adding movement in the image such as freezing motion, it will add more dynamic to the images. The #AD200Pro will be a nice addition to my lighting setup beside a godox SK400ii and TT600ii, so I can precisely lighting my subject without worrying the lack of lighting. :) email: harurifqi@gmail.com

    To add extreme impact to environmental portraiture, put the sun to the models back to use it as a rim light then stop down 2 stops underexposed (approx.) for the ambient exposure and light from the front with a GODOX AD600/400/300/2X200 in HSS - depending on the location and power needed to fill in the underexposed subject using a 24-48 inch modifier. This creates saturated colors and provides full detail in skies giving a look that point and shoot photographers cannot achieve. GODOX makes this sort of photography portable and affordable - so that it can be used even in the most exotic locations allowing for impressive vistas as backgrounds to even high fashion portraits . Thanks GODOX!

    I like color graded images of perfectly lit models. Perfect lighting is bread and butter to a good picture. Leading the eyes with strategically placed shadows controls the viewer's journey through the picture and the matching color grading adds that impact - that wow to the picture.

    Using multiple light sources adds depth and texture to your image. And how you modify those lights can really add punch to the final image. Sometimes even 1 light with a grid and a reflector or vflat does the trick. That can be very dramatic and sculpts your subject.

    I love using my Ad200pro with a small reflector, keeping it simple and using the emphasis on light quality to create the mood, directing the light towards my subject sculpting the shapes with sharp defined lines by positioning my light source at a good distance so that it with cover more of the subject. I ve wanted an additional Ad200pro for some time, to create even my punch to my photos, separating the background and subject further, would also make a brighter lighter light combining the two together, using the smart adapter.

Impact for me is by creating images from angles and a lighting most people don't think of. Simplicity is my style and Godox does this perfectly. #AD200Pro
