Simply China By Dynalite VIP Nancy Brown

January 24, 2012 By

My Photographic Journey Through China

First and most important is that I love China and the Chinese people. I have been a photographer for over thirty years and when I stepped off the plane for my first visit to China in 2005 I began my photographic love affair with China and its people.

I wish I had gone to China many years ago. Since my first trip I have been back many times and I hope to go many more. It is heaven for me to be wandering around villages and remote areas of China with my cameras around my neck.

“Simply China” is a collection of my favorite images taken over a period of five years and six trips to China. It is a large (10″ x12.5″) coffee table book with 290 pages of images (after much editing) and my China story.

Hope you enjoy my experiences in China and the images in the unforgettable Chinese colors as much as I did making them.

Nancy Brown has been a commercial photographer for over thirty years specializing in lifestyle and beauty images for advertising agencies, magazines, design firms, book publishers, and pharmaceutical agencies. After working out of her New York studio for thirty years she now works out of her studio in Boca Raton, Florida.

Nancy has had five photography books published and was made a Nikon Legend in 2001. Getty Images is her stock agency.

Since her first visit to China in 2005 (and five trips since), China has become her favorite beauty subject. Nancy says, “Making the images in this book was pure joy and I hope that those who see the images feel the beauty and spirit of China as I do.”

Vincent Ricardel

August 24, 2011 By

I have been using Dynalite for eight years. Never once has it let me down. Much of my work is produced on location, which means my equipment is subject to baggage handlers and the elements. During the production of my book, Archtop Guitars, I relied almost exclusively on the 1000ws power supplies and 2040 heads. They’re compact, sturdy and reliable. This is one lighting system that offers peace of mind. Thank you Dynalite for being there when it counts!” – Vincent Ricardel

New Power Packs Available From Dynalite

January 12, 2011 By

For over 40 years Dynalite has produced award winning photographic strobe equipment meeting the requirements and demands of photographers while incorporating the latest technology.  Today is no different as Dynalite is proud to announce the all new 400, 800, and 1600 watt second power packs available in the Road and Roadmax series.

Advances in today’s imaging sensors have relinquished the need for excessive power output in today’s strobes, however the need for professional quality remains.  With reductions in size and weight each power pack still maintains the same color temperature and flash consistency as our previous packs and can now recycle faster than ever before!

The 400w/s power pack when compared to the previous 500 w/s models are 1” shorter, 1/2 lb. lighter, and the recycling time is 60% faster!  These packs are perfect for photographers who frequently are bringing their equipment on location.  Available in the Road Series as the RP400 or with a built-in 32 channel Pocket Wizard™ technology as the MP400 in the Roadmax Series.

For those who always wanted the portability of the 500w/s pack with the power of the 1000w/s pack, today we have the solution in the 800w/s power pack! The perfect balance of power and portability the 800w/s power pack has a full power recycling time of just 1.2 seconds while coming in lighter and shorter than the previous 1000w/s power pack.  Excellent for in or out of the studio we offer the RP800 (Road Series) and the MP800 (Roadmax Series) power packs.

The all new 1600w/s power packs are available as the RP1600 (Road Series) and MP1600 (Roadmax Series) are shining examples of Dynalite technology and innovation with the biggest makeover.  Increasing the power 60% from the 1000w/s model did not mean we had to increase the size the same amount. When compared to the 1000w/s model the increases were marginal in height and weight and a mere .8 seconds longer for full recycle time.
