Profoto Introduces New Umbrella XL Product Line

Available in three versions - white, silver and translucent - the new Profoto Umbrella XL features a diameter of 65" with a slightly parabolic shape that allows photographers to change the light distribution by simply sliding the umbrella shaft inside the flash head. In addition, the light spread can also be adjusted by moving the Zoom Reflector back or forth, creating an even more versatile look.

NEW: Profoto Asymmetric Softboxes

Profoto’s new asymmetric softboxes feature a unique construction. The light source is not positioned in the center as in a standard softbox, but in the first third of the back. This creates a one-sided light fall-off that allows for precise control of the light distribution. The feature is perfect for people- and fashion photography, where shaping the main light on the subject’s face is fundamental. It is also ideal for still life shoots, for which sophisticated highlight control is required.
