Light Blaster is a great little gadget that attaches to a strobe and converts it a really cool image projector. It uses a Canon lens or you can use a Nikon lens with an optional adapter. You can find all you need to know about Light Blaster at their web page. I do all sorts of photography and am always on the lookout for tools to aid creativity. I love off camera flash but the rules for me is that it needs to be quick simple and able to fit in your bag. I am always making my own gobos to create interesting shadows so Light Blaster looked like a perfect tool for me. Here is a little blog post I did a while ago about creating shadow.
The Light Blaster is really only limited by you imagination. The obvious application is to use it for creating amazing backgrounds. I used it recently on a fashion shoot and used it as my key light just to create interesting patterns and shapes on the model. This was literally just a few frames quickly taken during a busy shoot using a couple of the pre-made slides.
I have a commercial shoot next week where I will be using Light Blaster extensively and also have big plans for a really cool fashion shoot so watch this space.
