LUMIPro Spotlight!

*** She walks into the room her dress swooshing as her hips sway. Looking over her shoulder her sultry red lips break into a smile she ushers five men in suits carrying frames to follow her. As the men hangup each photo she turns her attention to you. ***

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a fabulous February! My birthday is almost here, and I thought I would celebrate with a LUMIPro Spotlight. let's do this!

What Is LUMIPro?

*** Samantha walks in wearing a big warm coat, a fluffy sweater, and boots. In one hand she is carrying a pitcher of beer and in the other hand, she has a big plate of wings. Carefully sitting them carefully down on the table she turns to you with a playful smile. ***

Why hello there! Whether the crazy weather has you stuck indoors or you are waiting to watch the Superbowl I thought this would be a great time to talk about what LUMIPro can offer your second life.

Since I purchased my LUMIPro in 2013 I have seen some amazing work created by various artists. I am always in awe of the work people create using LUMIPro. Let me share just a couple...

I'm very pleased with this lighting system. It is very versatile and easy to get started, but so many more options to get into and learn about as you get more familiar.

Great product with many options!

If you want to simplify your lighting and take the guess work out of set up this is the way to go! So many features, highly recommended ♥

Awesome Photo Lighting System!!

LUMIPro is by far, the best lighting system in SL for photography that I have found. I have several other photo studio systems but none have the capabilities that LUMIPro has for lighting control with color, intensity, positioning, casting shadows, etc. for your photo shoots. The biggest selling feature to me is having the ability to take your lighting anywhere in SL and use it, including the no-rez areas of SL. I wanted to get out of my portrait studio but proper lighting was a problem. Now I have great lighting anywhere I shoot in SL! Other bonuses of the system are being able to control multiple models from the HUD without having to instruct them to move or change positions or anything. The system has many great built in poses (not the cheap ones either) that will get you going in no time with very professional looking photos. The eye control system is also another great tool to assist in getting those eyes just right for your shot. If you are serious about capturing great professional photos in SL, this photo lighting system is well worth the investment. It will be the last one you will ever buy I think. The one tip I would give anyone who buys this system and does not have previous experience with earlier versions of LUMIPro is... take maybe 30 minutes or so of your time and watch all of the great video tutorials on their website. They run through many of the features, as there are many, and they will give you a much better understanding of what all you can do with this system without a lot of reading. I had never used LUMIPro before and this is what I did after I purchased it. Within no time, I was off and shooting some great photos with this system.My hats off to the creator and developer of this system. Nice job!!

If you still aren't sure if LUMIPro is for you why not try a fully functioning demo at LUMIPro's World Headquarters? If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact Samantha Ansar-Buscaylet in world.

Oh and before I forget to our current LUMIPro users... Don't forget the upcoming Gallery Show!

Until next time... Be Bold, Be Creative, and Happy Shooting!
