DAIWA BG MQ ARK 10000

Since the late 1990’s I’ve shot every variation and model of the Daiwa BG for catalogues and promotion. The new BG MQ ARK series is the latest model from Daiwa that I shot recently. The reel in the image was factory production version, perfect out of the box, and as it is black it needs a tough clean and polish to remove any dirt, dust, oil, fingerprints etc, black will show almost any flaw. A three-light setup with the main light a Godox AD600 Pro with a 50cm Beauty Dish from front above, ¼ power, two Godox AD 300 Pro’s from either side at 45 degrees, 1/16th power and about half a dozen small Gobos to reflect light in the right areas.
