Profoto's Website/Blog - A Solid Resource for Photographers

7/19/2017

Out for a scroll in cyberspace this morning I wandered over to one of my favorite sites, Profoto. They've done an outstanding job of weaving together education, information and stories that are simply great reading. For example, I started by clicking "New to Profoto? What you need to get started."

I'm sharing the section for the on-location photographer here just to give you a feel for the depth of the site. Under each category/type of photographer there's a suggested gear section which includes a core product together with accessories. Each one is an interactive link to that specific product, again with more examples of various applications. Click on any of the components below to link to that specific product page.

But the most fun, at least for me personally, was the profile story at the end of the section, complete with the video below. It's like a great meal and this was dessert.

The profile story is about Flora Borsi and it starts with a behind the scenes video of her Animeyed project. Written by Jens-Linus Lundgren-Widén, it's a great article about her vision.

“I’m an ‘I want it all and I want it now’ kind of person. If there is an easier way to accomplish something, why shouldn’t I use it? With the consistency and reliability of the B1 I can get the shot done quicker. Using TTL I don’t have to tamper with a light meter.”

Click on either of her two images below to read more about the project and link to more of her images.

Profoto isn't just a world leader in manufacturing lighting equipment and accessories, but a leader in education and helping artists raise the bar on the quality of their images. Put the Profoto site on your radar and then check in every week - you'll never be disappointed in your search for great content.
