“I only use Chimera.”-Nick Vedros
Nick Vedros, a master of lighting and winner of Studio Photography Magazine’s Studio of the Year award, has been using Chimera Lightbanks exclusively for over 20 years. He chooses them for their broad, clean highlights and system of accessories which allow him the utmost control of his lighting set ups. Not to mention their incredibly high quaility constuction and durability.
For the photo at left he had to solve the problem of how to light a steam locomotive inside of a museum. The solution: Six large Chimera Super PRO Banks for even highlights without harsh shadows.

“Chimera lightbanks bring a beautiful light quality to my work.” -Bill Holshevnikoff
“Over the years, I’ve been hired a lot to make people look good on camera. There’s a delicate balance to lighting a person for camera and making them feel comfortable under the lights. The more comfortable they feel, the better their performance on camera. Time and time again, Chimera lightbanks are my tool of choice. Whether it’s television, fi lm, HiDef or DV, Chimera Lightbanks bring a beautiful light quality to my work. I like to work the banks in close - but, because the light is so soft, it’s really easy on the talent. It’s simple, quick, gorgeous lighting that I can take with me on any shoot.”
-Bill Holshevnikoff
