So I will just be 100% honest…I use to shoot with Einsteins for years and they were great, but now that I have battery powered cordless strobes you couldn’t pay me to go back haha. It’s SO much easie

You just cant do lit action without it, unless you’re inside and want to use flash duration to freeze the action, which I do all the time.

Not only do you not have to have HSS to do it, but you save flash/battery power because the flash duration and action freezing is better the lower the power of the strobe.

Its a combination of a few things…I use the pen tool a lot, but I usually outsource that to a company called Clipping Path Sector. I use the refine edge in PS in combo with a technique I developed shooting on a black background and using the screen blending mode in PS. I actually have 2 YouTube videos that cover that process. Here are the links if you want to check them out.
