This could well be one of my most favorite videos from Profoto! While all of them are short and make the point, I'm not sure there's anything that defines shooting in a remote location better than the next two minutes you're going to spend with Muse Muse, a photographer who doesn't know the meaning of a "typical wedding shoot"!

The caption on YouTube says,

Wedding photographer Muse Muse travels from Hong Kong to Iceland with a B1 Off-Camera Flash and a Magnum Reflector as his most trusted traveling companions. 

Seriously, look at this grab shot I pulled from the video. There isn't a more accurate example of a remote location. I can't think of a better way to make the point about Profoto's Off-Camera Flash System and the B1 and B2.

Profoto has changed the way you shoot. They've taken away all the boundaries of power sources, extension cords and heavy equipment when it comes to lighting. They've given artists the ability to simply create with a quality of light that's made their gear legendary.

​The only limitation you have in lighting at this point is your creative vision!

Every week there's new content added to the Profoto Blog. What makes it so easy to enjoy and use to build your skill set is the way the archives are broken out into categories. I found this post written by Rebecca Ahremark last January. Posted in Portrait Photography, the images truly demonstrate the skills of award-winning photographer Leo Edwards together with the versatility of Profoto's Off-Camera Flash System.

Check out the images, keeping in mind these are screen shots and they're still terrific! Then find a Profoto Dealer near you and check out the B1 and B2 systems for yourself.

​And, when you need a little inspiration to boost your creativity, jump over to the blog and just wander through the archives. You'll meet some of the most talented artists in imaging and each one is sharing techniques to help you raise the bar on the quality of your work.

Are you interested in knowing how Profoto B1 works on location? Award winning photographer Leo Edwards wanted to try them in a real world expedition. He traveled all the way to Lo Manthang, Nepal with two B1’s and six batteries. And here’s what he has to say about them. 

“There is no doubt after using the B1’s in quite a challenging environment that they do produce stunning light, performed admirably and travelled very well. I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone looking for a mobile lighting solution.” 

Leo writes in a published story on his blog. 

“As a lighting solution the B1 is a great option, well built, reliable with great light output. You won’t go far wrong if you buy one – just give some thought about how you shoot and how you will place your light.”

Here’s some of the amazing shots that were taken during his expedition. You should also head over to Leo’s website for more inspiring material and more images from Lo Manthang.

Over and over again ProfotoUSA and their parent company, Profoto in Sweden, have produced great online support in video content to help you raise the bar on the quality of your work.

The "What's the Difference?" series is a prime example. Each one is short, sweet and always to the point to help you understand how to embrace lighting gear. Plus, not only is Profoto the leader in quality and manufacturing, but Jared Platt does an outstanding job helping you with tips to improve your technique.

I love these videos because they're so jam-packed with good content and always presented in 2-3 minutes! Check out the complete Profoto line of lights and accessories and then visit a Profoto dealer!
