Photo session with the Profoto B10 flash \/ video light<\/h1>\n

The real appeal of the Profoto B10 flash<\/a>\u00a0 (B&H<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\/ Amazon<\/em><\/a>), isn’t just that you have a powerful (yet compact) flash – the extra appeal is that you have a powerful video light as well. This makes it easier to change it up during a photo session. As light levels fall, you could go from using the flash to using the video light … without having to change your light source.<\/p>\n

Let’s have a look at some examples from a recent photo session – which took place after a surprise proposal! \u00a0I had arranged with Rachit that I would be ready at a specific place with a nice view of the Manhattan skyline, where he would slowly lead his girlfriend, Diti, and then propose to her.<\/p>\n

To not give the game away, I sat nearby with my\u00a0Sony A9<\/a> \u00a0(B&H<\/em><\/a> \/ Amazon<\/em><\/a>), and the\u00a0Sony FE 24-105mm f\/4 G lens<\/a>\u00a0 (B&H<\/em><\/a> \/ Amazon<\/em><\/a>). With the Sony A9 the silent shutter would be invaluable, along with being able to tilt the screen so that I didn’t have to lift the camera to my face. This way I could work surreptitiously for the first few minutes.<\/p>\n
