Profoto: The Legends Of Light

March 27, 2017 Neil vN 12 Comments

Profoto: Legends of Light

This is both exciting and humbling. Profoto USA has included me in their list of ‘Legends Of Light‘, alongside some of the biggest names in the photography world … some of whom I can even count as friends and peers. Now the challenge is to live up to this!

Here are the articles on the Tangents blog where I show how I use Profoto flashes on location and in the studio.

    Congratulations Neil! I am not surprised, though. Your books and blogs have been infinitely useful and instructional to many, many of us, and your photographs are all characterized by a certain “pop” which you consistently achieve whether in studio or on location. The fact that your set-ups are often relatively simple and that you choose to share them with us distinguishes you as far as I am concerned. Plus, you seem to be having a lot of fun doing what you do, which definitely shows through to your audience. Keep up the great work.

    Congratulations, Neil! It’s not only your personal ‘excellence’ that makes you stand out; your willingness to help the rest of us shouldn’t go unmentioned.
