Four photographers trapped in four Escape Rooms | Profoto Escape Artist | Profoto (MX)

Who will make it in time?

Four photographers trapped in the weirdest locations of their professional careers. With only camera, laptop, an unknown set of props and models - and the Profoto B10X flash - they get a 90-minute deadline to deliver an approved shot to get out of the tight space in time. We all get to follow their anxious work, minute by minute - decision by decision. Who will make it out in time, and who will not?

The challenges

Erik Johansson - Zodiac Riddle

To escape, Erik must create a surreal world-class killer shot, epic enough to hang in a museum.

Martina Wärenfeldt - Life Sentence

To get out, Martina must deliver an approved fine art portrait of a young illusionist trapped inside prison.

David Bicho - Mastermind

To reach freedom, David must nail a piece of true action imagery in a room filled with laser beams. 

Molly Baber - Tesla's Mystery

To succeed, Molly must present a breath-taking portrait with a classic feel in a 1940's New York hotel room.
