Are the horror themed shots studio
or location or both and what gear
would you take to shoot with?
The horror themed shots are a mix
of studio and location. I love both
for different reasons (locations are
always great as the models can in-
teract with the surroundings and you
give you a lot of variety in a short
amount of time. Studio is great for
setting up a consistent look, fine-tun-
ing it and shooting at all times of the
day without having to worry about
ambient lighting and traveling with
gear to locations
My go-to gear would definitely be
a beauty dish with honeycomb grid
and a pair of stripboxes with egg-
crate grids. These give a really nar-
row beam of light that lets you focus
on your subject without spilling light
onto your surrounds. Many of my
horror shots are done with these and
I just haven’t found any other modifi-
ers comparable to them!

more - where can they go online?
I’m most active on Instagram: Ins-
tagram.com/MikeRollerson - This is
where I post many of my finished
shots, behind-the-scenes photos &
videos and Instax shots.
I also post the finished shots in high-
er-res at www.MikeRollerson.com
