Flashlight Portraits!

Emiliano Granado just send over a portrait he shot for Mass Appeal, with the use of flashlight. I'm fascinated by using a flashlight as a primary light source after seeing that awesome Brea Souders Scarlett image. What kind of industrial-strength flashlights are you all using? Send me your flashlight portraits, I'll try to post them all.


Remember Gary Schneider's flashlight portraits? Loved those.

Gary was teacher in college, he was really excited working on those pictures.

I've seen work kinda like this shot with video lights, but flashlights? I'm with you: what big, honkin' flashlights are these folks using? I also assume the lights are gelled to approximate daylight (knocking the light down by about two stops), otherwise the subjects would look mighty yellow. Does a monstrous construction site spotlight count as a flashlight?

Anton Corbijn exploited this flashlight technique in the 90's.
