Designed with Pratt Institute design instructor, David Conroy, the Lowel EGO is a extra simple lighting solution that logically follows my Chimera and Wafer prostudio lightbox designs. This blog proposes a direct dialog between EGO designers and EGO users - including photographers, videographers, museum conservators and others.

Lesson 302, Still Life - Coffee Pot
Again, the rounded light quality from the single EGO clearly shows up to enhance the mirrored metal surface of the subject.

Thanks for the demonstrations. Most of them aren't relevant for my work, but I like the flare on the polished metal surfaces in this shot. Can you use this same type of setup for something small like jewelry? I want the flare without overwhelming the piece with a big bright light.
Jewelry usually needs a "flare" source right at the lens. I find a daylight fluorscent screw-in lamp in a plug-in socket (confused yet?) at the end of an extension cord - played with/against an EGO - to be perfect for jewelry. Given your good question, I will post a couple of jewelry photographs.
