AT THE GREAT WALL WITH SOME GREAT LIGHTS
THE SHOOT
Sal Cincotta knows a great location when he sees
one. The first time he visited the Great Wall of
China he knew that he would one day return, this
time with a camera and a plan. But the trip to the
Great Wall of China is far from a romantic journey.
Sal describes it as “a boat, plane, train, trolley,
cab and lots of walking sort of deal. “It isn’t near
anything,” he says. “It’s extremely remote. You
have to pack light. You need to understand that
you’re not going to be carrying more than about
20 kilos of gear with you.”
THE CHALLENGE
In addition to shooting at what is an extremely
remote location for an American wedding
photographer, the Chinese sun was also playing
peek-a-boo with the clouds as it dipped towards
the horizon. Things were further complicated by the
fact that there was a constant stream of pedestrian
traffic on the wall. “The idea of setting up stands
and holding up traffic while you’re busy calling out
flash readings is totally out of the question,”
laughs Sal.
THE SOLUTION

© SAL CINCOTTA
One thing Sal has learned over the years is that
he does not need big lights – he needs power. “The
B2 Heads are about the same weight and mass as
my speedlites, but they output four to five times
the light,” he says. Sal’s assistant handheld the B2
Head, equipped with an OCF Softbox 2’ Octa, just
out of picture range. Sal triggered the flash using an
Air Remote TTL-C. Shooting in TTL Mode, Sal was
able to capture the image with perfect exposure even
while the subject was walking along the Great Wall
and the sun was setting on the horizon.

HIGH-FASHION BRIDAL IN A COTTON MILL
THE SHOOT
The term ‘location’ can mean warm, sunny days
under clear blue skies or a cold, damp warehouse
with no place to plug in the lights. For Dixie Dixon,
a recent high-fashion bridal shoot at the McKinney
Cotton Mill in Texas took the latter track. Built
in 1910 and shuttered in 1969, the structure has
seen better days. “The place is huge and there are
hardly any outlets,” says Dixie. There wasn’t much
in the way of heat either, and the drafty chill of the
overcast day could be felt throughout the building.
THE CHALLENGE
Dixie and her team could not do much about the
ambient temperature, but they could do something
about the ambient light. After assessing the situation Dixie decided to make use of the cooler, diffused
ambient window light that filled the room and mix
it with the neutral tonality of her flashes. But in
order to do this in the old mill, she was going to
need a powerful, battery-powered flash. Also, the
high-fashion bridal look she was going for required a
beautiful light that could be shaped with precision.
THE SOLUTION

© DIXIE DIXON
Dixie’s main light was a B1 Off-Camera Flash with
an Umbrella Deep White S. A second B1 with a
Softlight Reflector White (Beauty Dish) was set up
as a rim light. Finally, a bareheaded B1 was set up
facing the camera to backlight the strings of small
crystals that Dixie suspended in front of her lens to
create the random, out-of-focus specula highlights
that add a playful dash of mystery to the image.
The lights were controlled directly from Dixie’s
Nikon camera using an Air Remote TTL-N.

THE B1. WITH TTL. WITHOUT CORDS.
Since its release in 2013, the B1 has taken the photographic
community by storm. With TTL, without any cords, and with
10 times the power of the average speedlight, the B1 makes
great light easy.
WITH TTL
Point and shoot, and the B1 will automatically adjust its light
output to provide you with the perfect exposure. (For Canon and

“My assistants really love the B1s.
They’re easy to travel with and the

shooting all day long.”
WITHOUT CORDS
Shoot indoors or shoot outdoors. Place the lights wherever you
want. Your imagination sets the limits, not the length of your
cables.

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY EXTRAORDINAIRE
THE SHOOT
Jaleel King is a Philadelphia-based portrait and
lifestyle photographer. Jaleel, his assistant and a
model had decided to head out to Benjamin Franklin
Bridge in Philadelphia to capture some street
portraits while at the same time utilize some of the
characteristic structure and texture of the bridge.
The windy, remote spot was also the perfect place
to try out Jaleel’s new and portable OCF Light
Shaping Tools, tailor-made for on location
photography.
THE CHALLENGE
Shooting out in the streets of Philadelphia during
wintertime can be cold and windy. What Jaleel
and his team did not know was exactly how cold
it was going to be. Add to that the strong winter
winds sweeping in over the bridge, and it becomes
quite clear that carefully preparing each shot was
not an option. Jaleel and his team had to move
fast. “Having the portability and ease-of-use of the
B2 Off-Camera Flash and the OCF Light Shaping
Tools really came in handy for getting things set up
quickly and efficiently,” says Jaleel.
THE SOLUTION
Jaleel equipped his B2 with the small and lightweight OCF Softbox 2x3’. The soft, diffused light
from the softbox blended nicely with the ambient
light, while still being strong enough to create some
contrast and make the subject pop out a bit from
the surroundings. An OCF Softgrid was added in
order to prevent the light from spilling onto the
bridge too much.

SHOOTING CELEBRITIES IN A FLASH
THE SHOOT
It was 2014 and Fox Searchlight Pictures was
busy promoting Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s new movie
Birdman, starring Michael Keaton, Emma Stone
and Edward Norton. Sites and magazines were
lining up to put the three stars on their covers.
One such site was The Wrap, a printed and online
magazine that contacted Stephanie Diani and
asked her to shoot their cover. The brief was simple:
get an energetic shot that feels as far from a press
junket in a hotel room as possible.
THE CHALLENGE
The brief was simple but the circumstances were
not, because the shoot was to take place at a press
junket in a hotel room! In addition, Stephanie
had only 20 minutes with the stars. “Things were
further complicated by the fact that there were three
subjects with a retinue of 15 to 20 people,” adds
Stephanie. “So imagine a hotel room, cleared of
furniture, with myself and an assistant, three lights,
and all these people. It certainly was cozy.”
THE SOLUTION

© STEPHANIE DIANI
Stephanie solved things by turning challenges
into opportunities. She asked the three actors to
squeeze into a small hallway and imagine they were
in a photo booth. “They were clearly comfortable
with each other, and started to play right away!”
she says. The scene was lit with two D1 Monolights.
One was equipped with an umbrella and a diffuser.
The other had a Zoom Reflector with a blue color
gel on it and was bounced off the white walls in
the hallway.

as bright as the stars she shoots. Boasting a generous 7 f-stop
power range, action-stopping short flash durations, and color
stability comparable with that of a high-end studio generator,

that is both well-lit and has a lot of
personality,” says Stephanie.

LIGHTING A PLANE UNDER A STORM
THE SHOOT
Moose Peterson is an American wildlife and
aviation photographer. Moose wants to do more
than just take pretty pictures. In other words,
Moose wants to shoot real things. This shot, for
instance, was all about getting an authentic shot
of the World War II fighter aircraft Grumman
Wildcat. And Moose got what he asked for. Just
like back in the 40s, when the Wildcats had their
most historically decisive moment over the South
Pacific, a thunderstorm was fast approaching.
Moose had to work quickly to get his shot.
THE SOLUTION
The fragile, old aircraft did not like rain very much,
so Moose had to be quick on his feet. But the sky
got darker by the minute and the amount of available light was constantly decreasing. If Moose had
shot with a manually controlled flash, he would
have had to constantly adjust its output. But in
this case he was shooting with two B1 Off-Camera
Flashes, wirelessly synced and controlled from an
Air Remote TTL-N set to TTL Mode. “TTL enabled
me to really concentrate on the subject and forget
about the light!” says Moose.
THE SOLUTION

© MOOSE PETERSON
Moose had one B1 equipped with a Softbox RFi
1x4’. “This light was used to light up the pilot
and a little bit of the parachute on the ground,”
says Moose. The second B1 was equipped with
a Magnum Reflector and a 10° Grid and aimed
towards the front of the engine. “The Magnum
Reflector gives me a good quality light at a
distance,” says Moose.

“I can honestly say that without the power
and flexibility of the B1 Off-Camera Flash
and the Air Remote TTL-N, I wouldn’t have
been able to make the shot.”
FOCUS YOUR ENERGY WHERE IT IS NEEDED
Color-coded speedrings and Velcro attachments result in hasslefree assembly and disassembly. No tools or pre-assembly needed.
A SOFTBOX FOR EVERY NEED
RFi softboxes come in thirteen models and four shapes:
rectangular, square, octagonal and strip.

Double-layered diffusers create a softer, more even light spread.
The silver interior provides a higher output and a
crisper character.
USE YOUR OLD FLASH BRAND IN A BRAND NEW WAY
The speedring adaptors make the RFi softboxes compatible with
well over 20 different flash brands, including speedlights.
STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT
Each unit is hand-sewn with heat resistant, high-quality fabrics.
Seam lines, edges and corner pockets are reinforced.
SHAPE LIGHT WITH PRECISION
Optional accessories, such as Softgrids, Flat Front Diffusers and
StripMasks, allow for even more precise light shaping.

ADDING NEW LIGHT TO A FAMILIAR PATHWAY
THE SHOOT
JP Elario is a second-generation wedding and
portrait photographer based in Albany, New York.
His father started the business back in the 80s, and
JP, now 33, started shooting weddings when he was
11. For this shoot, JP headed to a country house in
Lenox, Massachusetts to shoot a series of photos of
a bride and groom. Being an experienced wedding
photographer, JP had taken pictures on the treelined pathway before, though usually earlier in the
day when the sun casts a warmer, low-angle wash
of light across the scene.
THE CHALLENGE
Being a wedding photographer means that you
always have to be prepared for anything. On this
particular day, the hour was late, the sun had
already dropped behind the treetops and the
amount of available light was constantly
decreasing. JP knew that he would need a lot of
power in order to light up not just the couple but
also the beautiful alley in the background.
THE SOLUTION
JP set up a B1 Off-Camera Flash with an
Umbrella Deep White L and a diffuser as his main
light in front of the couple. Behind them was a
B2 Off-Camera Flash with two B2 Heads. One
B2 Head was used for backlighting the couple, while
the second B2 Head was used to throw a wash of
light toward the warm-toned tree branches on the
side of the frame. The B1 in combination with the
two B2 Heads resulted in a soft and even light.
That was it. JP had his shot.

UMBRELLA DEEP & SHALLOW.
EIGHTEEN MODELS. TWO SHAPES.
INFINITE POSSIBILITIES.
Profoto Umbrellas are available in eighteen unique models and
two shapes: deep & shallow.
Being outside meant that a batterypowered solution was absolutely essential.
Luckily for JP he had his brand new
Off-Camera Flash system and a selection
of large umbrellas with him.
Umbrella Deep has a deeper, more parabolic shape than the
average umbrella. The deeper shape gives the photographer
better control of the light spread. It also allows the photographer
to focus and shape light by simply sliding the umbrella shaft in
its holder.
Umbrella Shallow is remarkably reliable and sturdy for its small
size and lightweight. The fabrics have been selected to provide
a superior quality of light over years of heavy-duty use, and the
metallic elements have been surface treated to prevent rust and
discoloration.

BATTLING THE FORCES OF NATURE
THE SHOOT
Photographer Andrea Belluso had a special vision
for this photo shoot at Långtora Airfield outside of
Stockholm. Andrea wanted to create a modern
version of the flying ladies of the 1940s. Actually,
quite a few of the classic Hollywood stars flew
gliders. The particular glider he borrowed for this
shoot was used by the Danish Air Force during the
1940s to train fighter pilots. Some people at the
flying club claim that the glider was once flown by
Greta Garbo – but that fact is still to be verified.
THE CHALLENGE
There are days when the forces of nature seem to
conspire against you. Andrea’s shoot at Långtora
belongs in that category. Andrea had planned to
shoot with only sunlight and Collapsible Reflectors,
so he and his team unfolded their reflectors and got
ready to shoot. Then came the clouds and they had
to unpack their Pro-B4 flashes to create their own
sunlight. And once again, Mother Nature played a
trick on them and the sun returned. The whole day
was like that – sunny, cloudy, sunny, cloudy…
14
© ANDREA BELLUSO
THE SOLUTION
Andrea and his team had to stay on their toes
and act fast. When there was sun, they used a
Collapsible Reflector. When the clouds appeared,
they used a Pro-B4 to create sunlight. This
particular image was created using only sunlight
and a Collapsible Reflector Sunsilver/White. The
sunsilver-sided reflector gave Andrea exactly the
look he was going for, combining the crispness of
a silver-sided reflector with the warmth of a
gold-sided reflector. In the end, battling the
forces of nature was not so bad after all.

When there was sun, Andrea used a

its most uncomplicated form. They are easy to use, easy to carry
and can be used for bouncing or diffusing sunlight as well as flash
light. The sturdy yet collapsible metal frame is equipped with two
ergonomically shaped handles, which make the reflectors easy to
fold and hold in various positions.
• Shape sunlight or bounce flash light.
• Ergonomically shaped handles make the screens easy to
fold and hold.
• Unique squircle-shape.
• Sturdy yet easily foldable metal frame.
• High-quality fabrics.
• Available in five versions: Silver/White, SunSilver/White,
Gold/White, Black/White and Translucent.
• Available two sizes: Medium (80 cm/ 33”) and
Large (120 cm/47”).

Profoto was founded by Eckhard Heine
and Conny Dufgran. Eckhard is sadly no
longer with us, but Conny is still a driving
force behind the company. Here he is, shot
by world-famous photographer Annie
Leibovitz for our 40th anniversary.

Profoto was born almost 50 years
ago in Stockholm, Sweden, when two
passionate photographers decided to
build the best flash system ever made.
Today, our products are used by the
best in the industry. Whether it is on
a billboard or in a fashion magazine,
there is a good chance that the image
you are looking at was created with
the help of our tools.

GET THE SKILLS. GET THE
TOOLS. GET THE SHOT!
You need two things to realize the image
you have pictured in your mind: the skills
and the tools.

This brochure will provide you with both.
Flick through the pages and seven
professional photographers will tell you
about how these seven striking images
were created.
The Light Shaping Tools that these
photographers used are compatible with
most major flash brands, and the tricks
that are revealed can be applied to any
kind of photography.
