Good light is one thing Intentional light is another
You look at your work and you know something is missing. The light is correct, technically, but it doesn't have weight. Subjects sit flat against backgrounds. Nothing separates. Clients say 'great' and don't rebook. That gap between technically correct and genuinely compelling is almost always a two-light problem.
Key light. Accent light. Total control.
The essential stills kit is the minimum setup for portraits that look crafted, not found. Key, accent, and full wireless control in a single bag.
Two lights change everything
Two B30 heads, 500Ws of battery powered Profoto performance, unified control from the Profoto Connect Pro. One light lifts the subject, two lights brings the scene to life.
Shape with precision
Soft and shaped, or crisp and focused. The Profoto Softbox Octa 3' with Softgrid and the Zoom Reflector with 10° grid cover the full range of light you'll want to create.
Studio-ready, anywhere
Compact, powerful, complete with light stand. The studio, in a bag you can carry.

Justin go-to kit, wherever the shoot takes him
Justin's go-to setup combines two of his favourite modifiers: the Profoto Softbox 3' Octa White for soft, sculpting key light, and the Zoom Reflector White with 10° Grid for precise accent. Together with the Profoto B30, it's a kit he reaches for on almost every shoot, from solo location work to complex commercial productions.
"This kit makes it super compact — you can bring it into any situation. It's great for when you're shooting on your own, with a small crew, or navigating a really complicated shoot. It brings studio-worthy portraits to any location."
