PocketWizard radios are the industry leaders in wireless control and synchronization of cameras, flash lighting and light meters. They are sold by leading photographic distributors around the world and are integrated with products from top photography manufacturers, including Sekonic, Bowens, Profoto, Dynalite, and others.

Mark Wallace of Snap Factory led a national Meet Up Tour for Pocket Wizard, making the second to last stop Ambient Studio. Though reservations were required, the event was free. Just one more sign of Pocket Wizards commitment to helping every photographer, every shot.

Models were scattered around the studio to all the attendees to try shooting Pocket Wizards newest flash sync and TTL system. They were able photograph in both studio-lighting conditions and combination studio- and natural-light situations. Some 80 photographers enjoyed Mark’s demonstration and then spread out in the 10,000 sq ft of Ambient Plus Studio.

Recently, the elite reviewers of the Yelp.com community took over Ambient Plus Studio. The space was transformed into a haven for the best of the internet to mingle with one another. Taste buds were tickled with Merry Mac’s famous side dishes, gourmet donuts from Sublime donuts in midtown, soup from Fresh 2 Order, and much more. Spirits were livened with libations from Maker’s Mark, Atlanta’s own Sweetwater brewery, and Savida Sangria (which was like sipping a cool breeze on a summer evening).

A DJ spun tunes throughout the night, but the entertainment highlight was definitely the performance from an Atlanta area dance crew called Royal Flush.  These guys definitely had the skills, and the crowd watched in amazement as they tore up the floor break dancing, flipping, and moving their bodies in ways most of us cannot even fathom.

Memories of the night were captured as friends posed for professional photos in a studio set up in the old elevator shaft of the building.

All in all, it was another great night with Ambient and Yelp!

Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn and assistant Chris Pinel discuss technical details

Deborah Sanders discusses composition options with Rich Michels - both from Veranda Magazine

Both Deborahs and Rich continue the composition discussion.

Photographer Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn has a long resume. Today she added one more line to it - shooting some incredible and ingenious new tile designs for Veranda Magazine. Along with her assistant Chris Pinel and Vernada staffers Deborah Sanders, Rich Michels, and Jordan Barkin, Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn again took advantage of the incredible daylight available on Stage 1 of the Rental Studios at Ambient Plus Studio.

No longer needing to go to New York or LA, Ambient Plus Studio supplies many photographers with affordable daylight studio space for rent right here in Atlanta. With Morel Studio Support right next door there are few limits to the production capacity in the rental studio.

All told, Deborah and her cohorts moved through several hundred pounds of tile with ease. The size of the rental studio was undoubtedly a factor but a certain familiarity (Deborah has rented the studio several times) must have factored into their efficiency. Then again, the fact that the entire team has worked together many times is undoubtedly also a bonus.
