At Harlowe, we believe in empowering photographers to bring their creative visions to life, and this year, we’re thrilled to be a major sponsor of the International Wedding Photographer of the Year (IWPOTY) Awards. As part of this partnership, we’ve contributed our portable LED continuous lighting solutions to the prize pool, providing finalists with tools designed to enhance their storytelling capabilities.
Harlowe, formerly known as Hobolite, has redefined portable LED lighting for both photography and video. Our lights combine exceptional craftsmanship with innovative technology, offering features such as real-time app control, precise power and color adjustments, and an intuitive system for attaching accessories like barn doors, snoots, and creative gels.
How to Choose the Best Lights for Wedding Photography or Elopements
Choosing the right type of lighting is critical for wedding photography or elopements, where capturing the perfect shot requires adaptability and precision. Continuous LED lighting, like Harlowe's, offers photographers the ability to see and adjust lighting in real-time, making it ideal for intimate moments like first dances, reception table setups, and portrait sessions.
Key benefits of continuous lighting include:
- Real-Time Adjustments: Perfect for capturing intricate wedding details and creating flattering lighting designs on the dance floor.
- Versatility: Seamlessly adapt to different scenes and settings with easy white balance adjustments.
- Ease of Use: User-friendly features ensure that photographers of all levels can achieve professional results.
In contrast, strobe lighting is an excellent choice for situations requiring high-intensity output, such as freezing motion or shooting in bright outdoor conditions. Photographers can explore a mix of continuous lighting and strobe solutions to create dynamic, well-lit images.
Empowering Creativity at IWPOTY
This year’s IWPOTY Awards highlight how both continuous lighting and strobe lighting can transform wedding photography. From freezing motion in champagne toasts to shaping light for dreamy first-dance portraits, the finalists showcase the power of creative lighting.
Harlowe’s participation in this prestigious event underscores our commitment to supporting the photography community and celebrating the artistry behind each image. By providing state-of-the-art lighting solutions, we aim to inspire photographers to push creative boundaries and elevate their work.
