NEW! Profoto Giant Silver NEW!

The combination of soft shadows and distinct highlights have made the Profoto extra-large reflectors very popular with leading fashion photographers. We’re now introducing a major new product line, Profoto Giants, which is vastly superior to all previous models.

The Profoto Giant Silvers for a focusable and very large reflector in the studio or on location.

The new model offers four focusing positions of the head, from a kind of spot to flood fill. A special “spill kill” head adapter reduces straylight. Using optional diffusers the light can be softened further.

Check it out!

With the weather getting a little chilly even in this part of Europe, we were happy about the island getaway during the Leaf Daylight Workshop 2008, which took place during November 6th-7th at SPOT Production Park Mallorca. We added many fotos to the post. Enjoy!
