It's would be more easier for lighting setup when shooting small objects, which could easily achieved the scene  just with 2-3 small lights . While shooting for a car that such a big object it's a great challenge for our team.

In terms of lighting, it is naturally necessary to use more powerful light like Forza 500 with amazing high output up to 75290 Lux 5600K at 1 meter and mulit-fuction.

Headlight shooting

In the past few applications, you will easy to find that the effect of sweep light  is the essence of the application!

The technique of smoving the light was used in lots of scenario.

 

Separate lighting fixture and power box desigh, also with lightweight desigh make it possible to pick up the fixture to sweep the light.

It is also the same step to sweep the light to capture the Mercedes-Benz logo, and the light is reflected in instead of directly light on the object.
