If you have seen my other posts from the Profoto YouTube Channel, you may remember that although I use Profoto and I’m a huge fan of their lighting that I realize not everyone readying this will have the budget for Profoto lighting. That’s fine! Use what you have and do the best you can with it.

Profoto lighting may not be in your budget, but you can pick up some tips by watching the video below. You should also check out the Profoto YouTube channel. I will likely dig into the archives of the Profoto channel as well as other YouTube video channels if I believe the information is still relevant to 2016. For example, Greg Heisler has short videos that are 2+ years old about planning for a shoot that are still relevant to planning for your shoot next week.

Tip: If you are a photographer and have not started blogging consistently yet, this is one way that you can get started. This post is less than 200 words to this point and now it’s time for the video. Get the idea?

Although I am not a wedding photographer, the video is still inspirational. As a photographer, I find that many of the Profoto videos that are 3 minutes or less on their YouTube channel are inspirational.

No matter what brand of strobe lights and/or speedlites you shoot with, you should find the Profoto YouTube Channel inspirational.

Here’s Why…

1) Lighting – Whether you use Profoto or not, it’s possible to pick up new ideas from the short videos.

2) Well Made – All the videos that I have seen are well made and keep my interest especially the ones that are 3 minutes or less.

3) The Environment – Many of the videos are shot in places that I could picture myself shooting in and having fun doing it.

4) The Inspiration – Because of #1, 2 and 3 combined, I get inspired. The videos make me want to try new things with my lighting, go new places and get out of the studio.
