How to Use Profoto A2 for Impactful Fashion Shots | Level Up with Ab Sesay

Photographer Ab Sesay dives deep into the art of using speedlights with the Profoto A2 to create striking and creative images. From on-camera flash techniques to off-camera setups producing crisp shadows, he uses real-world examples to break down each lighting method. Also, he gets creative by putting speedlights inside old tungsten light fixtures for creative lighting techniques using the Profoto A2. Ab also focuses on creative direction and composing your images.

Learn how to:
• Master on-camera flash with TTL and manual adjustments
• Balance beam and field angles for the perfect exposure using lenses like the Fuji GFX 45-100mm
• Employ creative art direction with painted backdrops, editorial styling, and practical props
• Transition smoothly between different environments—from studios to unexpected locations like bathrooms, conference rooms, and more
• Utilize off-camera speed lights to capture dramatic high-key looks with precision and ease
