I love these short videos Profoto has on their YouTube channel because they share so much about the featured artists and in turn their technique.  They're always educational, demonstrating Profoto's never-ending quest to help photographers raise the bar on the quality of their images.

Ana Brandt is in the spotlight with this video. Based out of California, her passion centers around maternity and newborns. Her website and galleries are just a click away.

It's remarkable how much you learn about Ana in just four and a half minutes. Think about how you'd tell your story of working with a client.

For example, I love the preparation part of the video as Ana works with "Mom" to decide on the outfit along with the look and feel of the portrait. Later, you'll see Ana working with the client on a maternity shoot. Then there's the setup for the portraits themselves - how she's lighting each subject, the accessories she's using and the way she wants the finished image to look.
