Friday Flickr Lighting Porn – Hoffonian

Written By: Justin Lang on August 20, 2010

This weeks randomly selected Friday Flickr Lighting Porn comes from Flickr user Hoffonian.  Alas, I wish I could tell you more about Hoffonian and where this photo came from, but no information was associated with the image. I can tell you that this is AWESOME!  What a great use of truss, spandex and light! From some of the other images of the “truss bird” as I am I calling it, it looks as though there was some sort of exhibit or something in the belly of the beast.  What, I am not sure.  I wish I could have been there to see this in person!

Thanks Hoffonian for sharing your lighting design work on the iSquint Friday Flickr Lighting Pool.  You can see more of Hoffonian’s work by visiting their photostream on Flickr.

Want to see your lighting design featured here on iSquint?  Each Friday, I randomly select a photo from the iSquint Friday Flickr Lighting Pool.  Besure to add your photos to the pool and make sure to add some information about the design.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend everyone!

    Ian Garrett, with both CalArts and with CSPA (the Center for Sustainable Practice in the Arts) was involved with the lighting on that project as well, as was one of my BFA lighting design students from CalArts, Zach Moore. They used the CK Color Reach fixtures for the project because of their output/power draw configuration – the installation was intended to be powered entirely off a solar array and was designed to fit in under 3000w of power. The Color Reach draws somewhere around 300w at full blast, which is a TON of light.

    Those things are heavy too, though – you should see what it takes to pack 6 Color Reaches in the back of a Honda Fit!! Hahahaha…
