Briese in the Picture

Briese of Germany has expanded to the US with the creation of Briese USA. Its lighting system incorporates both flash and HMI, and the HMIs can also be used as tungsten lights (HMI ballasts operate on 400 MHz). Briese also offers lightweight flash packs that can adapt to the local current. Briese reflector umbrellas range in size from 30" to 130" and their light source can be adjusted for focusing. Striplights are a new product to the reflector umbrella family and come in three different sizes: Mini, Midi, and Maxi. Other products include standard, fresnel, zoom spot, sun, tubus, and floodlights in addition to electronic ballasts, flashpacks, generators, master boards, and IR transmitters. The gear has been used by photographers Annie Leibovitz and Peter Menke, and by the Wallflowers for its video "Sleepwalker," directed by Mark Romanek.
