First announced at the Second life Community Conference August 2011 with 9+ free major revisions since then. 2015 AND 2016 Avi Choice Award Winner! Updates for life are always free!!
This is not a SL photography toy. This is a serious photography tool for working in virtual worlds and is the first commercially available lighting system to use projection prim capability.
This is a best selling photography tool in secondlife. Just search the marketplace keyword "photography".
Considering something else? Look at how many reviews they've had so far in 2018 compared to LUMIPro.
Watch this video to fully appreciate the value of this system vs other systems. Also check out our 28 page PDF manual (who else does that?!).
LUMIPro is a game changer in lighting for photography in SecondLife. It was developed by a photographer RL who found the lighting systems available in SL inadequate and got tired of the limitation of rezzing prim and moving them each time he reposed his model. LUMIPro changes all this.
LUMIPro is a HUD worn by the photographer that controls all aspects of lights worn by the model or self. Photographer can adjust position, color, radius, and falloff. It all works in zero rez sims! The built in posing system controls ten models independently and again, without the need to rez for pose stands. This version contains both projectors for perfect shadows and the best eye management system on SL (121 position) as well as a camera and scene management system.
Gallery of LUMIPro based photos is available at our studio.
Technical note: Not all graphics cards are able to cast shadows. If you set your graphics to ultra and can't see shadows from the outdoor sun, then you'll likely not seem them with LUMIPro.

Worth every L$ and more
Unquestionably the best tool for photography in SL. It carries all your poses, has a ton of lighting options, adjusts the model's eyes...
Jeez, I'd have to put the hud on to remember all it does. lol
If you take photos inworld, YOU NEED THIS HUD! :-)

Best investment you can make in photography
if you are into photography in SL, and, like me, do most of your shoots "in world" this is invaluable. It really is a studio in a HUD. It is a bit of a learning curve at first, but the documentation for it is top notch (a rarity for alot of SL products) and they always are helpful if you do run into an issue
My new essential HUD
I was looking for an in-viewer solution for lighting as I've been doing all my lighting in post processing. I was so impressed I thought I'd leave a review (and I never leave reviews... I know it's bad!)
So, after reading the PDF instructions and watching a few of the creators YouTube video's, I've found it's become the only HUD I need for SL photography. The lighting it's self is set up to work as if in a studio, with 4 typical sets up to start from. There you tweak and edit until you're happy. It's easy to use and extremely powerful. I was happy just having quick and easy set ups to swap between a butterfly and the Rembrandt set ups, for example.
However, there was so much more to LumiPro. With the projectors, eye gazer tool, and pose organisation tools it has become an essential step to my photography. The Projector tool was an especially pleasant surprise. There's a video on Stefan's YouTube channel where he demo's this feature and shows you how to edit them. By using a black and white texture you can create all sorts of fantastic effects.
Best of all, because the lights are wearable item's and you have complete control over the light they produce, it's easy to work with a green screen. For anyone who doesn't know, the point of the green screen is to make it easier to remove the avatar from background since the human skin has no green hues. So when working with light in viewer, if any light is projected on the green it changes the saturation making it harder to cut out the green. LumiPro limits this because the lights are so close to the avatar. If any light spills over you just have to turn down the intensity or move the green screen further away.
In summary, the LumiPro is so powerful, you won't need anything else other than this and a good Windlight to take a decent pic.
