The 2018 Sundance Film Festival, beginning on January 18th and running until the 28th, was packed full of celebrities, and actors, as it featured films selected across all categories.

Using Profoto B1X units and a mix of Umbrellas, Softlight Reflectors and Softboxes, she did an amazing job capturing some incredible talent.
