Eight Photographers, the A1 and a Quick Trip to Japan

12/5/2017

Yesterday, together with my co-host from "Mind Your Own Business" Chamira Young, we recorded an upcoming podcast with the "King of Lighting," Tony Corbell. It was a great little interview talking to Tony about the new studio he's opened with two other artists, one of them his wife, Mandy. Lots of great insight, and during the conversation the topic of lighting came up and Tony mentioned Profoto. The new A1 is having an incredible impact on his creativity, capturing images in a way he's never had the ability to do before.

So, I thought it would be fun to share two videos, one is the A1 trailer, which is all high-impact. Nothing but great images and video clips of eight different artists in action; six lines of text and one three second narrative - that's it.  It's only a minute long, but as you watch it, think about how you'd tell your story in sixty seconds? It's a great little marketing exercise to think about.
The second video features Hideaki Hamada, a Japanese photographer shooting in an old house outside Tokyo. It's all done with English subtitles, but in all honesty, you don't need anything but music to appreciate watching Hamada-san at work. 

I've spent a lot of time in Japan over my career and there's something about the stunning soft fine art simplicity of his portraits. I grabbed a couple of screen shots to share in this post, but to really appreciate his style, click on either one and you'll be on his website. And, as all great artists, his creativity never slows down. I loved watching him experiment with his application of incorporating the A1 into his natural light portraiture.

The Internet has made the world a much smaller place. There are eight photographers from around the world in this series and each video is so worth your time to watch. It's also well worth your time to visit your Profoto dealer and see for yourself what all the buzz is about.
