Jared Platt and a Daily Double

At least once a week I wander into the Profoto USA archives on YouTube, and I'm always drawn to Jared Platt's "What's the difference?" series. It's outstanding content and always in short, concise doses. It's like having your own private lighting instructor. 

I especially liked the first video where he compares one B2 to three speedlights. He makes some great points along the way.


I also love the fact that Profoto walks the talk by not only developing terrific lighting gear but making sure they provide the support you need via online education, live workshops and sponsorship of a long list of conventions and resources. 

The two videos I picked for this week are loaded with great tips and as always Jared does an outstanding job conveying the message in both!  If you haven't visited a Profoto dealer yet, you're overdue! Just click the tab below to locate the dealer nearest you and check out the gear everybody is talking about - Profoto's Off-Camera Flash Systems - the game-changers!

"What's the difference?" An Umbrella vs. a Bare Head

Each one of these short "What's the difference?" videos is loaded with great information. Jared Platt does an outstanding job taking you through a specific point and then drilling down to show you comparison shots. Plus, I love the way he takes us through the three light set up on the front end.

Again, this is a scenario that's perfect for the B1 and B2 off-camera flash system. Jared is out in a field in Utah and it's winter time. It's not a shooting situation you could even tackle without the right gear. 

Profoto's off-camera flash system has been referred to, since it's introduction last year, as the "game changer".  Don't take my word for it. Visit a Profoto dealer and see for yourself.

"What's the Difference?" Freezing Movement with High-Speed Sync

10/6/2015

1 Comment

 
There are over 100 short educational and webinar videos in the Profoto USA YouTube section. Their support for education is as consistent as the quality of light they produce. And, they always pack a lot of great information into every video and blog post.

From the Profoto YouTube archives:

"What's the Difference?" is a series of video lighting tutorials. Each episode responds to a single question. In this episode, Jared Platt tries freezing motion with the High-Speed Sync.

Jared Platt does an outstanding job in every video, but I especially loved the way he takes you through high speed sync in this one, along with his explanation of high speed sync in a previous video I shared. Like the previous video on high-speed sync, Jared and Profoto demonstrate each exposure along the way, from ambient and blurred movement to completely freezing the key elements in the image.

In this particular video Jared is working on location with the B1 and B2 system. If you haven't seen these lights in action, it's time to visit your Profoto Dealer. Profoto has completely changed every photographer's ability to control the light in virtually every situation, especially out of the studio and on location.
