Hi, I’m Ashley, and I’m a shutter drag addict. I physically cannot resist adding light trails anytime glitter is involved. ✨ This is the exact technique I’ll be teaching live in Westcott’s upcoming webinar masterclass. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to blend flash with motion for creative effects like this, there’s still time to grab a ticket.

🌿Anyone else ready for spring weather? For this shoot I wanted a warm glowy feel so I used a three light set up. My first light was a FJ400 modified with a 36 inch Rapid Box Beauty Dish Switch, and I used this as a main light on my subject. I then added another FJ400 behind my subject to add a glow to the scene. I added a light orange Flexigel to this light to warm up the whole scene and add to the flowery look. Finally I added in a third light, this one a FJ400 with an optical spot, also gelled light orange, to add some dappled lighting to the scene. Giving the look of light through branches.

Who needs a disco ball when you are the disco ball? 🪩✨ This was shot entirely with LED constant lighting. For the main light, I used a @westcottlighting L120-B modified with a Rapid Box Beauty Dish and Grid to control the spread. I added two Ice Light V3s as rim lights, and placed another L120-B inside a homemade mirror prism because why not add a little extra sparkle?

No overthinking. Just clean light and a little denim attitude. 💙 One FJ400 SE (yep, it’s back in stock!👏) + Click Box Octa Softbox, simple setup, solid results. DM me if you want the lighting breakdown, or have any questions about gear!⚡ Model - @jsamperry Makeup Artist - @amylewisbeauty Photographer - @heyhelloashley Lighting - @westcottlighting

Proof that glitter and science can get along! 🔬✨ 
For this look, I combined Westcott’s FlexiGels with the modeling lamp on the FJ400 to create bold color and motion in one shot. Want to see how it’s done?

Sometimes the simplest setups give you the most timeless results. For this portrait, I used the new Westcott FJ400SE paired with a 42” ClickBox Octa as my main light, a 2x3 ClickBox for soft fill, and rounded it out with a 1x3 ClickBox Strip just to add a subtle edge light for separation.

Rich tones, soft light, and just a hint of vintage! 📸 
 This setup used 3 FJ400II strobes. The main light was a 7’ Umbrella with diffusion for that soft, beautiful wrap. I added a shoot-through umbrella with a blue gel to bring subtle color contrast into the shadows. For the background, I used an optical spot with a window gobo to cast shadows and create depth and dimension. Sometimes it’s the little lighting details that make a big impact.

Same lighting, different camera settings — which do you prefer? 📷⚡️Clean and classic, or creative with motion? ⁠ Both were lit using the @westcottlighting FJ80 II, mounted with their redesigned S-Bracket V2 and the 36” Beauty Dish Switch.

When you’re shooting downtown, portability is everything. I used the FJ200 with a Rapid Box Switch Octa S—mounted on a paint pole to keep things light and super mobile. Quick to set up, easy to move, and perfect for tight spaces.

Light trails in the studio? Yes please! 💫 ✨ I love the unpredictable magic of mixing constant light and flash—every shot is a surprise, and that’s what makes it so fun. Captured with @westcottlighting ’s Ice Light 3 and FJ400 II. Who else loves a good light trail moment?

No Cupid needed – Valentine’s Day is for the girls!💘 For this shot, I kept it simple with a single light setup: an FJ400 II modified with a 36” Rapid Box Beauty Dish Switch. Big thanks to an amazing team for making this shoot possible.
