Get to know Profoto
Welcome to the world of light shaping
Since 1968, the world’s best photographers have been using our lights and light shaping tools to create stunning, iconic images.
Initially, we were known for heavy-duty studio lights. More recently, more and more talented image creators have used our products thanks to the launch of battery-powered, compact lights with TTL.
Today, thanks to the introduction of our studio lights for Smartphones and the leading-edge technology that seamlessly and invisibly connects camera, app, and light – we’re making light more accessible to everyone passionate about creating amazing images now, and in the future.
Because, at Profoto, our mission is to push the boundaries, make the best products and technology, and share our knowledge to inspire all those passionate about creating great images.
