Review: “Fashion at the Airfield Workshop 2017” with Porty L 1200

24. July 2017

This year the almost legendary workshop by and with Christian Kuhlmann and the Hensel Porty L 1200 battery system took place at the airfield in Worms, Germany again.

Normally, the participantes are spoiled with the most beautiful summer weather, but this time the location presented itself as quite challenging: Thick rain clouds and an for July atypical cool wind asked for maximal flexibility and improvisational talent of the participants and the models.
But even conditions like this don’t disturb a photographer – with the right equipment! Thanks to the compact size and light weight of the Porty L 1200 and its accessories, everyone could easily look for shelter from the rain – if needed.

…and why not make a virtue of necessity? The dark clouds formed the perfect, dramatic contrast to the illuminated models and vehicles, and nobody had to worry about sunburns or heat shocks.

The following light modifiers were used to create the distinctive lighting with brilliant contrasts:

The props were spectacular as well, the photo enthusiasts could choose historic planes as well as powerful and elegant cars: A Pontiac GTO, a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, an Abarth Spider 124 and a Dornier 27 offered ideal possibilites to create the matching setting. The models were dressed in current couture by designer Jana Hofmann, who also took care of the styling.

All set up for a more than successful workshop!
