This week, we tested out a new lighting fixture from Alzo; the Overhead Drum Light is like a china ball. We used it in two very different lighting scenarios. One was portrait lighting, and the other food lighting. Although both aimed to be glamorous shots, we had to use the Overhead Drum Light and our tools in very different ways.

For portrait lighting, we used the Alzo Overhead Drum Light with a reflector for a soft lighting. For food lighting, the Overhead Drum Light was dropped closer to the subject and with the help of two small desk lamps with barndoors attached to provide a key. This light is very versatile and provides a soft, bright light for your subjects. It is also mobile when attached to a c-stand arm so it can swing into place and be moved up and down.

We recently used this light at a Canon Boot Camp shoot to create a skylight above our talent’s head. Here is the shot:

Let us know how you would use the Alzo Overhead Drum Light!
