Acerca de este curso

Este curso se imparte en inglés.

Perfecto para cualquier aspirante a fotógrafo, este curso te ayudará a comenzar a trabajar con el flash. David explora la teoría y la física básicas para controlar la luz, mientras que la galardonada fotógrafa de retratos Hannah Couzens te enseña a poner en práctica los conceptos teóricos en tu fotografía cotidiana. Juntos, te mostrarán cómo crear imágenes naturales de gran belleza usando las tres reglas básicas de la iluminación: distancia, dirección y forma. Controla el brillo y el degradado de la luz con la distancia, acercando o alejando la fuente de luz. Coloca tu flash para determinar dónde y cómo incidirán las sombras en tu sujeto. Y, por último, crea una luz suave o dura utilizando fuentes de luz de distintas formas y tamaños.

David Joseph Portraits

The video was very good, it was designed I believe to be a simplified concept for those basic principles of lighting. So a beginning student can grasp the concept and a more advanced student will not loose interest in the concept. I found this video an excellent example and I am now more interested in viewing more video’s in this style of lighting education. Thankful for your efforts!

I like the mix of theory and practical in brief chunks. Simple and allows me to make notes to explore further topics (Butterfly Lighting as example). I think the minimalist studio approach and look also enhances the clean and foundational nature of the instruction.

Very entertaining way of getting the various parts of the short course over, excellent, thank you.

23 abril, 2020

I think the course was very good, I learned things but, my over thoughts about your classes are this... I can get a lot more hours of learning elsewhere like creative live for the dollar. Your value proposition is not as solid as theirs. I also think that when someone like me has spent $8000 in Profoto gear in the past year, that you should give us the training for free. I understand charging random people off the street but your customers have already earned it, you should not charge us.

Nicolas Meunier

PERFECT! The wording is simple and scientifically correct, that's something new in photo learning.

the 3rd video was the only one you really needed. I don't feel like it was worth 25$, I was happy to watch it for free though. The price tag and what I got would make me very hesitant to purchase a more expensive course. I felt the information was great I just wouldn't feel good if I had to pay for it.

I thought my English was somewhat adequate, but the following question I do not quite get the meaning of "Which of these is a very effective method of using light sources in the background to determine your placement of lights?" Would you care to explain?

Julie Van Mersbergen
01 enero, 2020

This tutorial about light was more informative than any other course I've taken. I now know why light does what it does, instead of just believing instructors when they say, "place your light here." Thank you for packing so much information into this short video. It took no time to watch and it fit in nicely into my busy schedule.

Sanjib Karmakar
30 noviembre, 2019

This tutorial is really good. I would like to mention here that distance between light source and the defuser material plays a major roll to change the size of penumbra as well as quality of light. If the defuser material is placed right in front of the small light source without keeping any gap, it will not change the size of light source and size of the penumbra will be small.

If you wanted to take this tutorial a step further and go really into the science of it I recommend inspiration from Mark Levoy's series of lectures on youtube. I think inverse square theory could've been covered in a lot more detail. I wish they had explained why when the light is moved closer the background fell darker, you could have talked about lighting fall off and how different sources will fall off quicker etc etc. Very useful video to show my students for sure, do you have a more advanced video in the pipeline?

Antonio SO
09 noviembre, 2019

The shape of the light is not enough to caracterize light; for instance a directionnal reflector or a softbox of the same shape are not going to impact the penumbra and most important, the texture of the subject (for instance the skin defects); the angular distribution of the direction of the light at each square inch of the surface of the source should also be teached as a fourth factor. This aspect is barely shown in lighting lessons.. hope you will take this in charge ;) thank you

When you work in portrait photography, the themes covered in the video are part of your knowledge. The message of the movie is very simple, but they must be fixed well in mind, the themes are fundamental, because when you have little time to run it is easier to make mistakes.

There is a lot of content packed into a few short videos. These go great now since I have taken Justin and Mary's Wedding Lighting course. I don't think I would have got some details without there course. Setting this with another point of view is great. Thank You. (les (canmore photography)

It's probably addressed in more advanced lessons, but maybe showing some examples of real people with the actual light and camera positions shown.

The basics, very well explained and extremely easy to understand.

14 septiembre, 2019

Video’s make understanding theorie easy.
Course is not too long and to the point.

Abner Fernandes
11 septiembre, 2019

It was very easy to follow and well presented, thank you. One small thing as additional information would’ve been appreciated - was the flash on ETTL or was the power being manually adjusted each time.

11 septiembre, 2019

I have some dificult to understand some pronounce of Ana, maybe if she speaks a little slowly may helps.

Steve Clark

This is good food for thought. I am comfortable with lighting techniques. However, you presented a different perspective that I need to test.

10 septiembre, 2019

Good that the content was good but not so serius

10 septiembre, 2019

Good basics but could be made with more examples.

07 octubre, 2019

el idioma me cuesta mucho entender las explicaciones

12 septiembre, 2019

It was helpful -- not sure if it was worth $30, but since it was free, it was an great value! Thanks!

12 septiembre, 2019

may be more fast

11 septiembre, 2019

One of the 4 questions I could not answer because I didn't learn it properly, my bad (diff between short and broad light). And I think it was because in that lesson was a mixture of "how to use daylight and flash" and the pure effect the flash has.

Moniruzzaman Monir

very very super easy course. But nice!

11 septiembre, 2019

Pretty basic info. Nothing wrong with the information, it was broken down for an entry level photographer in mind.

11 septiembre, 2019

short but on the point

Emil Bilinski
10 septiembre, 2019

technical aspect is amazing, execution is somehow for kids, profoto is a premium brand, not a play ground. In some situations its funny but there's too much going on with unnecessary things. people don't have time for that, people want quick results, so if you would bring it to the point without playing around i would appreciate more.

10 septiembre, 2019

Very basic info and concepts, but entertainingly presented.

10 septiembre, 2019

I have concerns that the last bit for "It's Your Turn Now" where the background was strobing from black to white might not be good for those with epilepsy.

10 septiembre, 2019

It would be more helpful, when the lighting shapes would not just get named but also the motivation of using them would get explained.

Josef Prinz, Vienna

Good short, even after years without English I could successfully complete the test. My 3 photo will follow shortly. Thank you, David.

Edgard Buenas
15 julio, 2019

Easy way to learn about lighting and how to use your flash, worth the money and time.

01 octubre, 2019

Very little real information for 25 euro! One can find much more on the internet for free. And I wonder if the law of inverse distance actually explains the effect of brighter backgound with longer distance ...

11 septiembre, 2019

good theory but too long

11 septiembre, 2019

Very basic information, nothing new. Kind of over-animated. Would recommend this only to a bloody beginner.

07 octubre, 2019

17 agosto, 2019

Not worth the price though all info was legit and well explained but 25 Euro is too much in my opinion. I still did enjoy the course a lot and learned.

Barend Houtsmuller
14 septiembre, 2019

IT is too basic for me

Ernestine M.
05 julio, 2019

The explanation was concise and easily understood. It was very helpful with the backup tutorial on practical use.

11 septiembre, 2019

If I had paid £19 for that I would be very very unhappy. Don't get me wrong I am a big fan of Profoto and have a fair bit of kit, but there are lots of free tutorials on YouTube which match this. It would be good advertising to let them out there free (or maybe to subscribers/users)

02 julio, 2019

Laura R.
23 junio, 2019

Thank you Profoto for this exceptionally well done lighting class!!! Please, please, please offer more courses like this one and with this same instructor. It was so well done and it cleared up concepts for me that I have not understood for YEARS in spite of having taken other lighting courses. It taught things in a different way and clarified/simplified things so much for me. Loved it and will be sharing the course link with others. Kudos to the entire team who created it and who appear in it. Hoping for more classes like this in the future!!!

Jerry P
23 junio, 2019

The instructors did a very good job in explaining the concepts of light.

23 junio, 2019

It was great. I will definitely look closer at your other courses. One thing to mention, I started on my phone and when I got to the course section a next question button didn't appear when I clicked the first answer. I tried a number of things but ultimately had to get on my laptop to finish. fyi I was on a samsung and on chrome. Thanks!

21 septiembre, 2019

To basic. Could be much more deep in the fundamentals.

Michael Hrizuk
22 junio, 2019

Easy to follow along. Very helpful.

Jorge Parra
21 junio, 2019

The course missed one general comment, which should be included, explaining the changes in the intensity of the light as the distance, direction and shape of the source varies. Other than that, it is helpful for those who know nothing or little about artificial lighting

Mike White
20 junio, 2019

Easy to understand course with very relevant lighting fundamentals every photographer should know.

20 junio, 2019

missed the penumbra light shape section

20 junio, 2019

Loved the theoretical and the practical explanations and demonstrations. This is my first time watching something from Profoto but it will not be my last.

Vic Romero
19 junio, 2019

Excellent. To improve the course, clarify cornerstone 3. At first, you talk about the shape of the light. Round sun, round penumbra. Rectangular light box, rectangular penumbra. But Hanna's illustrations do not talk about shape. She talks about the size of the light source. The two ideas of shape and size are not contradictory, but they are not identical either. So, there is a disconnect. And you ignore the disconnect. You need to make the connection, so the gap goes away.

Antonio Sansica
17 junio, 2019

it's very basic at the moment, but fundamental! it's ironic, smart and very professional. amazing actors!

15 junio, 2019

Don’t hesitate on delivering the theory that David offers. People need this to truly understand and retain the principles. More theory with historical references please!

15 junio, 2019

Great practical stuff for beginners and great everyday reminders for the rest of us

As a beginner, I found the information and lessons to be easy to understand, useful, and presented in an engaging manner. Thank you.

13 junio, 2019

I really enjoyed this Course

23 junio, 2019

Very nice class! I like the presentation.

Tom Trio
22 junio, 2019

Fun, Concise

10 septiembre, 2019

I think you should have talked about the inverse-square law. Otherwise it makes no sense that the background gets brighter when you put the light source further away from the subject. I already know about all that stuff, but actually there was so much relevant content left out that for me this doesn't qualify as a tutorial on "how light actually works".

10 septiembre, 2019

not at all useful

12 junio, 2019

This was a very basic training on lighting. Very clear and easy to understand as a first introduction to lightly.

13 junio, 2019

I would like to have been able to ask questions about some of the techniques and equipment used.

12 junio, 2019

Very nicely explained, dynamic and humoruous, They break down the concepts and the examples are fantastic.

02 junio, 2019

You are great. I didn't find online courses until your academy. But your products is very expensive, more expensive for me because i am living in turkey(Our currency is low). Can you be sponsor to me :). Please keep going. If i earn money with my photography skills, i promise, i will only use your products.

Chris Bence

Very well produced, and I liked the practical application demonstrations. It was a little more basic than I expected, so for me was not additive to what I know, however it encourages me to look at other course offerings from Profoto Academy to improve my control of light for portraiture. Thank you!

Divyam Chopra
16 mayo, 2019

It is an amazing platform to learn new techniques from the best

25 junio, 2019

You have missed (maybe intentionally) a key concept when talking about the size of the light. It should have been explained as "the APPARENT size of the light source" in respect to the subject. If you had placed the "big" softbox 100 meters away from the subject, it would have become a hard light because the apparent size would be small in respect to the subject. The way you left things to the viewer may lead to the misconception that a large softbox will always produce a soft light. Would you say the Sun makes a hard light because it is a small light source? The Sun is 100 times bigger than the Earth.

05 julio, 2019

It was a very useful course for people without basics.

Short, crisp and great! Small suggestion would be to divide each aspect into a video of their own, making them smaller. Also, makes the content appear more full

Rico M.
21 junio, 2019

It was informative but too basic. I wanted to know more about the various types of modifiers such as umbrellas vs sofboxes and the different types and sizes of each modifier. Also white vs silver and see the contrast in the light between the 2 colors in various applications ( soft box, umbrellas and octabanks. Alsoin different settings such as daylight vs night.

Ntjengeti Sibanda
22 marzo, 2019

The course was very informative, with precise and pinpoint explanations on all the techniques. However it did not clearly take account of subject placement in relation to the background (distance). Doesn’t that affect the amount of fall off the backdrop picks up as well, especially with the addition of a modifier like Softbox?

Arrman sameer

I thought lighting is the most complex concept in photography but now because of profoto Academy it is broken down and simplified by which anyone can understand the basics of direction , distance and shaping of light.

Gonzalo Carrasco Acuña

Sunny Talwar

Been studying on youtube but this course clarifies many questions i had

Carlos Benjamin
13 junio, 2019

Most of it was good, but the first lesson regarding distance was wrong. When the light was moved closer the background was lighter but the subject was overexposed. It was only when the power of the light was reduced that the background became darker. The erroneous conclusion that was repeated several times was that bringing the light closer makes the background darker. I feel that this will only confuse photographers who are new to lighting.

14 marzo, 2019

The technical part was broken down and understandable to a layman. . .it is also very engaging. .. I wasn't bored at all

23 abril, 2019

it is a good and fast course for people who want a quick grababout lighting, but would be better if there was more explanations on light positioning

I love your Academy live episodes on YouTube, which I regularly watch. This format is more compact and to the point, so is very effective in bringing the basics across. I'm currently doing a photography education and will point my classmates this way. Top job!

21 febrero, 2019

A really effective and inspiring way to teach. Things are justified and the examples are understandable. Fantastic !!!

10 febrero, 2019

I really wanted to hate these tutorials. I have bought and seen so many that I guess I'm just jaded at this point. That was until now. I'm amazed at how concepts that I have been trying to wrap my head around for quite some time, were explained in away that now I finally understand. Thank you so much for creating quality content. By doing so, you are elevating the level of photographer who take the time to learn. Very much appreciated.

David Henderson
20 febrero, 2019

Excellent introduction to the fundamental foundations of understanding and working with light.

Even for a free course it seemed to me that it was too short and basic

Cindy Ashwal
15 febrero, 2019

These videos are a wonderful educational tool. You should quiz us harder and maybe supply a PDF with terminology explained. I love that I can replay the videos if I practice a technique and am not sure I can get it correct

04 febrero, 2019

I have told many people about these courses (I work in a Camera/media/lighting store - Camera Electronic, Perth, Western Australia). I also love the 100% discount offers. Although you are giving something for free, I believe it generates sales for Profoto, as a follow-on effect.

Kevin Lau

26 enero, 2019

14 febrero, 2019

well, I wish your prices wasn't that high. Way too expensive for me. unless you would offer a package price for all your courses, like other online courses. I wasn't able to find a way to use all the courses for a fraction of the individual courses. it would be nice for instance to have a 50% discount for people like me who would be interested to take all the courses and pay at once. And even better if divided into a monthly payment. Thanks

20 marzo, 2019

This information was pretty basic and added nothing to knowledge.

20 marzo, 2019

I really enjoyed the format, and the presentation. However, the content, for the price, is a bit too steep, in my opinion. The concept of the inverse square law was barely touched upon.
There are plenty of resources on basic lighting available on the web and most of them provide greater detail.
Other than that, the video was very enjoyable.
Thank you.

08 enero, 2019

I learned a lot.

19 diciembre, 2018

I'm very happy to know the foundation of photography. As you said that it's hard to find proper one through internet. But, I want to know more detail and advance.

pls, I want to know the something exercise of photography. eg) foundation of drawing is sketch.

I'm looking forward to new course of foundation.

The course was brief, educational, but I was hoping for more information on who to use the PROFOTO A1

Even being a very basic light course was extremely clear and well done at all levels. Very pleasant to watch and make me curious about more advanced courses at Profoto academy.

all most good.but im japnese, more slowly is beter.

02 febrero, 2019

Really 25EUR for this? You should give your courses in addition to your gear. At least when I have to wait 4 month until B10 will be available in Germany!

I could understand that I remembered quality of the light only in a law learned by experience scientifically some other time and was very good.

29 noviembre, 2018

Clear and excellent!

16 noviembre, 2018

I think this is the first time anyone has ever explained how to setup a light from Rembrandt lighting. I knew what it looked like and I knew it was from a higher light, but how one was to determine the placement of that light easily, I didn't know.

22 noviembre, 2018

09 noviembre, 2018

Great intro into lighting. The concepts discussed were beautifully explained Thank you!

08 diciembre, 2018

I would like to have the video file

Great short intro course.

06 diciembre, 2018

Very well presented with the basic fundamentals of lighting clearly explained in a novel and entertaining way making it easy to remember. I was, perhaps, expecting a little more.

I dreaded using artificial light such as flashes for years. I always found speed lights extremely confusing to use. Then I recently stumbled upon Profoto and it changed everything! From their easy-to-use A1's to their informative academy classes, they have actually made lighting FUN to learn and easy use!

19 noviembre, 2018

So easy to understand, very very fine explanations

(I assume this comment is to make future courses better, not to make a great testimonial ;)) From what I've seen, I'm a fan of your courses. David (I hope he's name is David, right?) is a really great teacher. I highly appreciate the attention you guys put into the details of the video. Those "gif videos", moving captions, black screen when David is talking about switching light off - I think it really makes a difference. The only thing I didn't like was sadly the light in the video itself. It wasn't Profoto as I understand it. That's from a technical POV. Moving on to other -much more important- aspect of educational videos - their educational value: I think the content was 9/10. Very well described. All important. Easy to understand. Not boring at all, even though I knew every single piece of advice here. Maybe the only thing I was missing was the practical tips on when I should use the butterfly, Rembrandt, short or board? Those setups surely make a picture FEEL differently. But which one should I use when? That being said I'd surely recommend this course to any beginner photographer I know. Thank you for doing such a great work.

Ted Aaron

Easy way of learning the differences of how light effects the image.

09 octubre, 2018

Sometimes it is so easy to make it right and this video will help a lot.

09 octubre, 2018

Very easy to follow. Basic and logical instructions. Provided in an accessible way providing me with a sense of possibilities.

25 noviembre, 2018

05 octubre, 2018

It was short and concise - So much wasted time watching other videos really makes you appreciate a well made and thought out tutorial!

Jeff M

This demonstrated and explained the impact of portrait and background lighting. I'll now know how to act quicker in resolving common lighting issues on any shoots. Great for the beginner in this field!

22 noviembre, 2018

I wanted not only single light source, but multiple lights for studio portrait.

Tim Ashley
09 noviembre, 2018

It’s almost a very good short course. Two problems: 1) The explanation of making the background darker or lighter is rather confusing because it just refers to the light being nearer or further, without making it clear TO WHAT - in other words, what this is really about (inverse square law) is the fact that moving the light further from BOTH the model and the background means that their RELATIVE distances get closer to each other and therefore the background is getting RELATIVELY better lit.

Issue number 2: CONTRAST. Many of these courses state that contrast is lower on the model’s face when the light is nearer to the model, and more contrasty when it is further away. I think you might have covered this.

Otherwise great. Love Anders, so helpful!

I have taken courses now from both David and Hannah. David is a bit of a comic, which I like because it makes the course a bit of fun on top of educational. Hannah is just very descriptive and lots of knowledge. Really like the chemistry between them. Great stuff

Spencer L Stanton
18 septiembre, 2018

Great job guys, you made learning the basics fun and entertaining.

16 octubre, 2018

David's style of teaching and charisma are great. However the knowledge in this course is very basic. I mean it says so in the title but I was expecting a little bit more for 25$. Still very enjoyable.

People never learn the basics. Amazing videos

Myron Thompson
01 septiembre, 2018

A little longer to reinforce what is being taught. I did learn a lot. So maybe this shorter version is better. Short bursts of knowledge maybe a better way.

21 agosto, 2018

Very informative course. Great for Beginners. Light essentials. :-)

Jim Walsh
09 septiembre, 2018

Nice job. Quick, simple, easy to understand and a useful break down of lighting principles.

18 julio, 2018

Easy do understand and very helpful.

28 julio, 2018

I feel that content was great however the cost does not match the length and overall complexity. IE: I was hoping for more content on angles and brightness of the subject not just the background.

16 agosto, 2018

A great video... and thank you for publishing these. I think they left out a couple basics. It's the size of the light-source -in relation to- the subject. The sun is a huge light source, but still creates harsh shadows. Same can be true of a softbox too far away, or a speedlite next to the face. And they didn't discuss the use of shutter speed on background lighting. Thanks!

05 septiembre, 2018

very basic, but well produced, not terribly useful for an experienced photographer

Tinashe Hwindingwi
15 julio, 2018

A back to basic approach to do great lighting. Love it.

15 julio, 2018

I have been a shooter for over 30yrs, it's always nice to relearn something you take fore-granted because you know it all ready.

15 julio, 2018

Excellent and succinct!

12 octubre, 2018

Seems way too simple. Light is such a powerful tool. I don't think this intro gave it justice.

The information with regard to the Penumbra which I tend to like to have a wider and softer Penumbra when taking Portraits and such, I have been literally shooting photography for years and never knew that was what it was called. Now I do.

07 septiembre, 2018

The course itself is fine but the website usability is not efficient and hard to navigate on my phone. An app for Profoto Academy would be great. Until then, I can not recommend this product.

02 julio, 2018

For me, it was basically review as I already knew all of the information that was presented in the video. However, I must say it was one of the best presentations of the information I have seen: short and concise. I am interested in checking out your other offerings that may actually be of more use to me.

10 agosto, 2018

Great .... for beginners
I presume people who buy Profoto equipment know that already ?!

08 septiembre, 2018

You made a big deal about being scientific and telling the foundations better than others on YouTube, but the content was light. Pun intended.

For example, bringing a light closer to the background does not make the background darker unless something else changes, such as needed power to illuminate the foreground.

Orcun Acik
08 julio, 2018

26 julio, 2018

Your courses are way too expensive

13 septiembre, 2018

When you get to the point as a photographer where you invest in Profoto gear, I kind of think you should know those basics. And if so, 25 (okay I got this one for free now) is a (sorry) waist of money

It is a necessary course to understand the fundamentals of lighting, and understand that the material is not indispensable, but the way to use it. Without a doubt, it is the principle to start

There is only one point for improvement from my perspective:
Aren't there lots of beautiful Swedish girls out there, who could be convinced to stand in for this awesome guy Ken ???
I think that Ken has deserved to go on holidays .... :-)

08 septiembre, 2018

A little too basic.

30 junio, 2018

show actual photos with the examples of the lighting being taught.

I knew that Profoto makes cutting edge light systems, what I am just recently realizing is they also provide unparalleled education and top notch customer service. Thank you Profoto.

29 mayo, 2018

Matt E.
20 julio, 2018

Great for beginners but there isn't anything included even an intermediate photographer can take away with. I work in the photo industry and was given a card from the MFR with a free promo code only good for this course, I'd be offended if I thought anyone from Profoto thought I could use information from this particular course and am very surprised I was not given a promo code I could use on one of your most advanced courses where I could have possibly learned something and in turn recommended a piece of Profoto gear (or lighting technique) I wouldn't have otherwise.

31 mayo, 2018

Academy should be free to Profoto customers

03 abril, 2018

I found this course instructive and funny, as an introductional lession must be :)

01 abril, 2018

I understanded the basic lighting method. Thank you!

Tim Matthews
14 marzo, 2018

Absolutely brilliant! So simple and yet so helpful to understand the basic foundations that underpin effective portrait photography. Considerably more helpful than watching hours of general lighting videos on YouTube.

25 mayo, 2018

Its Needs to be in More details with actuals subjects + too much of intro + very expensive

06 marzo, 2018

A very useful and practical course on the foundations of lighting

Ramon Alberich
04 marzo, 2018

the course is amazing, easy to follow and very interesting.

23 mayo, 2018

the level of this training is far too basic: nothing about the amount of light, settings of the flashmeter, principes of basic three points of light, etc., no documentation, and A1 isn’t adapted, Im’ very disappointed, its’ very expensive!

Bart Leirs
03 marzo, 2018

Very clear and interesting

23 marzo, 2018

It would be good to have other languages like French or Spanish.
This is nicely explained.

Ou Zhang
13 marzo, 2018

General speaking , I like the way of illustration, because it is simple and clear. However, regarding the point of distance, I feel it should be explained a bit more deeply. She says further means brighter, but without saying that it is necessary to adjust either the power of the flash or the aperture in order to get a correct exposure. Also it has something to do with the distance between the model and the background.

02 marzo, 2018

Is it possible to let the videos automatically start playing without pressing the start/triangle?
The second question did not make sense to me. Maybe it because I am dyslectic or just stupid... :-)

Joel Ruiz
16 abril, 2018

The information is great but I wish it didn't have to be purchased and here is why.
From a marketing perspective, these video can be promoted at:
"proper lighting techniques" using Profoto.
Now, this will inspire more people to want to utilize your gear, in order to replicate the same results.
Yes, it can be done with other lights but the object is to get more people to purchase more of the Profoto line of equipment.
Now, this course is about $25 US dollars.
If I was a student at a local college, I wouldn't purchase this video because I don't have the money to spend it. So out of 100 people, let's say that only 5 people purchased the video and now, Profoto made
$125 from the sale of this video.

Now, if the video was free; all 100 students would watch this video. Out of all the 100 student, 50 students fall in love with the Profoto A1.
Out of the 50 students, 8 students purchase the
Profoto A1 and now Profoto made about $8,000 US dollars in sales, off of that free video and 12 students other students will purchase a Profoto A1 in the near future. You could possibly make about $20,000 off of the video, if you play your cards right.

Think about this too.
If you make these videos free and only available online and at the Profoto website; just imagine how much traffic will be generated to the Profoto website?
The object is to bring people to your website so that they are forced to watch these videos at Profoto.
This will result in informing new customers of what you all offer and will help increase sale.
Also, if you are providing these videos free, I would literally be seeing first hand that all these images were produced by the Profoto equipment and will cause me to be loyal to the brand.
How do I know this work?
It is because I went to Youtube and type Profoto. I saw the video of Andrea Belluso and it was because of him that I purchased a set of D2's and an Air Remote for my Nikon Camera. I visit that page religiously to keep me inspired and to continue my growth: both creative and technical.
It was because of those videos, that I was able to troubleshoot errors that people were having with their A1's at ShutterFest 2018.
Also, thank you all for sending Andrea Belluso to Houston, TX.
I was able to meet him, his wife, his brother in law, and Rose Whitaker; at the workshop held by the Houston Camera Exchange and by Profoto.
All of this because of the Youtube videos that had Andrea Belluso.
I've been doing marketing for 15 years and what I do for another company, those principles can be applied to the Profoto brand and it will generate a lot more sales. Email me at: joelruizinc@gmail.com
if you all would like to speak more about it.

I like that course

Jonathan Noakes
16 marzo, 2018

I think although this was advertised as a basic course, it was too rudimentary. Well produced, but lacking in depth detail for the price.

12 febrero, 2018

Seems a bit short.

02 febrero, 2018

The content of this class was almost identical to the talk that David made at the A1 launch event. I hoped it would go beyond that.

06 febrero, 2018

this is like a beginner's crash course. Dont really think profoto customers are the right target group. for me it was very disappointing and a waste of money.

24 septiembre, 2018

Easy understandable informations in a very short time. No "beat around the bush".

The way they explain everything is very clear and it gave me a better understanding how light works!

The agile way to transmit the contents of the course and, above all, the quality and creativity of the videos.

Clear and easy to follow, based on real life principles and science

The courses were short, and they are very clearly explained with examples, so it showed the concepts clearly

Well presented, clear information that focused on key points instead of covering too much. Extremely hands on. Contrary to other courses very compact, useful and beautifully made.

I like the simple, concise format and settings displayed along with the instruction. I also appreciate the details provided by the instructor along the way.

I loved the way the instructors broke down the scene, their thought process and then showed you the results. I was able to replicate what I had learned from the instructions. It also helped that the courses showed you what gear was being used in the creation of the shots.
