When in-studio, Khachadoorian primarily shoots with his beloved Briese light, which gives his clients that signature look that is so naturally beautiful, and at the same time, ethereal and other-worldly. It’s set up with Broncolor Scoro packs for stills, and can be modified to tungsten for continuous light when shooting motion. Add in some beauty dishes, all white walls and large westward windows with afternoon sunlight pouring in, and you’ve got a recipe for all around glorious light like you’ve never experienced. Arri Skypanels and Orbiters add to the mix and can be color synced to match any light source.
