    Hi Karl,

    I’m a food photographer and also shoot tethered to Capture One. I left the platform for a while since you didn’t have much in the way of food photography and just came back to learn more about lighting. Now I see all these new lessons, thank you so much!! I can’t wait to watch them and I hope you continue to add to this category. Any plans for cocktails?

    I have one Godox V1Pro and one Godox AD600 strobe, which I absolutely love. I had no idea you could do all of this with multiple speedlights. I understand the balance of power between all the, but do you think I can use my two lights in a multiple light setup? I would imagine with all the modifiers for both that the lighting possibilities are endless.

    Thank you again for classes, I’ve learned so much from you.

    1. Hi Stacey, thank you for you kind words and welcome back to the platform. Please keep in mind that many of the other classes in our lighting section and product photography section are all useful to you as a food photographer. We also have several drinks/liquids classes too.

      With your godox lights yes to can mix and use the two together or even with other brands, all that matters is that you can put them in manual mode so that you can set the amount of power coming out of them yourself. As you will see in my Speedlite section I’ve used the simplest of modifiers to acheive great results!
