Smartphone photographers may be interested to know that Profoto has launched a new professional flash specifically designed for smartphone photography. The Profoto B10 flash can be used with the iOS and Android smartphones enabling photographers to use the full power of their flashes.
“For the first time in history, smartphone photographers can now add a professional flash to their gear – an innovation that rewrites the rules of photography. Profoto, maker of the world’s leading premium photographic flashes, today announces a major milestone by making their B10 flash series compatible with iPhone. “
“This is the first time anyone has successfully brought professional flashes to smartphones. The Profoto B10 flash series are small, lightweight flashes, with a hundred times more power than a LED light. With a B10, a smartphone photographer can now not only overpower the sun with his or her phone, but also produce images ready for commercial use.”
“This is a revolutionary innovation,” states Profoto CEO Anders Hedebark. “Making professional flash available to smartphones has the potential to be ground-breaking, just like how the transition from analog to digital cameras once changed everything. We believe freedom with connectivity is the next step for professional photography. No matter what kind of photographer you are, it’s all about the light. And we want to offer image creators to work with great light, regardless of what
capturing device you chose to use.”
