She had expressed interest in trying out some of our LitePads on an upcoming photoshoot – so we made her dreams come true and sent over some* [*LitePad Axioms*](http://www.rosco.com/litepad/litepadAxiom.cfm) *for her to try. Below is Emma’s report on the results of that floral photoshoot:* A throwaway tweet during [#blogphotochat](https://twitter.com/hashtag/blogphotochat?src=hash) a couple of months ago led to Rosco getting in touch and offering to let me try their LitePads. ![](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/tweet.png?width=469&height=66&name=tweet.png) LitePads are basically portable north facing windows. They are a flat screen that gives out daylight balanced soft light. In short, a food, product or portrait photographer’s dream. All that advice you are given to shoot in indirect natural daylight? These LitePads allow you to do that all day and all night - all year long.

But they are easy to prop up or use with a light stand or on a tripod: [![](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/emma-davies-stand-4674_v2.jpg?width=600&height=450&name=emma-davies-stand-4674_v2.jpg)](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/emma-davies-stand-4674_v2.jpg?hsLang=en)[![](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/emma-davies-main-1-3690_v2.jpg?width=600&height=900&name=emma-davies-main-1-3690_v2.jpg)](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/emma-davies-main-1-3690_v2.jpg?hsLang=en)I thought they might be too bright, and give harsh shadows - or that if you moved them away to soften the shadows, they wouldn’t be bright enough. Neither of these were true - they really do give a beautifully soft, natural light all day or night long.
