Ordinary locations, Extraordinary images | Profoto (DE)

Turning boring into beautiful

We challenged three photographers to step out of their comfort zone and create extraordinary images in ordinary locations, beginning with a dark garage. This is because all too often you find yourself in less than ideal locations or conditions and are still expected to create eye-catching imagery. Watch how these photographers turned boring into beautiful and got creative with just 2 Profoto A10 and minimal time.

Keep your eyes out for Profoto and Socality on Instagram to see what they created in the other two locations.
