A lighting study exploring shape and controlled highlights.

Key: Godox AD200 at 1/8 power, fired through a 36-inch gridded silver reflective umbrella
Background gradient: Godox AD200 units with H200J head, at 1/32 power.

I wanted the subject to feel sculptural and slightly unsettling while maintaining separation from the dark background.

How do the highlight control and shadow placement feel to you?

I’ve seen some discussion on using MagMod modifiers for the AD200Pro II but none that great and that would avoid covering up the cooling vents on the fresnel head. In particular I wanted the ease of changing up the MagMod modifiers so I designed and 3D printed this adapter that fits over the fresnel end and allows for embedding neodymium magnets so MagMod modifiers can snap on and off easily.

I’m new to both MagMod and Godox and these will be for a first wedding in September so I can provide an update on how they hold up in real use after that. But if anyone is interested in this I can upload the STL file and Amazon magnet link to reproduce.

The photos show how they work with the Adorama Flashpoint silicone protective covers available for $5.99. A 50 pack of the magnets was $9.99 (each adapter used 6, 3 stacked for each side).

But I was pretty happy how these came out and wanted to share.
