Chroma zone with two lights

Dean Collins invented 'cromazones' - predictable, variable studio backdrop color from a gel-filtered background light. In PHOTOpro magazine January 1995 editor David Kilpatrick sets out to show how two low-cost strobes switchable down to quarter power give all the control you need.

We used ELINCHROM EL250 and 500 AC studio flash-heads. An Elinchrom Mini Optical Spot unit was used on the main light. The background light used red filter gel and a diffusing scrim. The seamless paper was black COLORAMA. Minolta 9000, 100mm f2.8 AF Macro, Fujichrome Provia 100. Click HERE for shot-by-shot tutorial.
