Pro Portraits with Constant Light! Tim Kelly Switches and Demos His New Level Up Portrait Studio.

Re-imagine Your Lighting! Level Up Imaging (LVLUP) has added a new twist to constant or "Hot" Lighting. No longer hot, constant light was at first tungsten, then florescent and then the early LED products. They all had their share of deficiencies. Now we finally have cool and powerful LED lights with variable output, and even Bi-Color models which allow for a full range of color temp that is bright enough to fill any studio, and most certainly any soft box or modifier.
I did panel lighting in the early '80's, having learned it from legend, Dean Collins of California. Even using soft boxes for most of my work, I sill incorporate panel reflectors and black panel scrims and gobos with great regularity.

Now we have a complete "pop-up" studio lighting kit from Level Up Imaging. Quite portable, though I've employed it as my primary (permanent) studio set up. As I've been using mine, my recommended kit would include an extra translucent panel for bigger groups and a second continuous main light, another LED light with a fresnel focusing spot / barn doors adapter, mostly used for lighting the background as seen in this session.
If you want to expand your lighting arsenal or start completely fresh and new, Level Up makes it very easy. Read on for more details, but you go to the website and get a nice DISCOUNT from LVLUPIMAGING.com. USE THE CODE: TIM KELLY 10, for a 10% SAVINGS on everything!!

Here are some general descriptions from LVL UP.

LVL Up System
The LVL Up Studio System is everything you need for a one light portraiture setup.
This System is made up of three units: One(1) Diffuser Wall and two(2) Reflector Walls. The System comes in two sizes; Large (60" Diffuser, 48" Reflectors) recommended for in-studio use and Medium (48" Diffuser, 36" Reflectors) for event or on-location use.

LVL Up Floor Guide
The LVL Up System Floor Guide makes setting up a classic portrait as easy as possible. The floor guide is a mat with markings showing where to place the pieces of the system; the Diffuser Wall, Reflectors, Background and your subject.
The Floor Guide comes in two sizes in accordance with the two LVL Up System sizes. Medium - 8'x8' and Large - 8'x10.
Utilizing the Floor Guide can make setup of your high volume and on location shoots very quick and easy, by eliminating the guesswork for your team.
The Floor Guide is a durable felt-topped rubber backed flooring. Easily rolls out for your shoots and roll back up for storage. Please note this product is not recommended with those with Latex sensitivities.

LVL Up Diffuser Wall
The Diffuser Wall is made of translucent material that diffuses light and softens the shadow edge transfer. The Diffuser Wall can be used as a stand alone supplementary tool to create a soft natural light, or it can be used in conjunction with the LVL Up Studio.
Currently the diffuser wall comes in 2 sizes; 48 inches and 60 inches wide with a max height of 90 inches.

LVL Up Reflector
The reflector wall is a stand alone tool with a highly reflective silver side along with a white side for creating a non specular fill. The reflector wall is used in the studio for both a specular separation light along with the white side used for the fill light to the main subject. The reflector wall is a great stand alone reflector that can be used in tight spot locations as either a fill or a main light source. The reflector wall comes in 2 sizes; 36 and 48 inch versions.

LVL Up Background
The LVL Up Background is a retractable background system that requires no additional support to stand alone. The retractable system keeps the background wrinkle and stain free and can be easily changed out for a different background. The background system comes in one 60 inch size.
LVL Up offers 3 background fabric options, but many more options and replacements are available through Background Town. Please follow this link to view and order other Background options in the LVL Up Collection: https://backgroundtown.com/c/t/281/lv...
