 The Fastest Strobe System, Only Available at S1
If you haven't tried the new Profoto Pro 8a's yet, you should. Not only do they have incredibly fast recycle, incredibly short flash duration, a low power output of 5 W, color stabilization, they also work completely wirelessly with the profoto air remotes.
Here's what some top Toronto Photographers that have shot with them are saying:
Moo:
"This is the first strobe system I've used, where I can truly say I am not aware of recyle time and output. They JUST work perfectly. Easy to use, the wireless transmitter works seamlessly, with a level of sophistication unavailable in parallel competitors. Its the pack that allows you to focus on the bottom line - the final image."
Miguel Jacob:
"The Profoto 8A Air packs are like nothing I have ever used before in the studio. Since I shoot very fast, I am used to getting at least a few exposures in the course of a shoot day without having the strobes firing. The first time I used the Profoto 8A Air packs, not a single exposure was taken without the strobe firing, even while I was purposely shooting faster than ever before! Sleek design, rugged and super fast! Could you ask for anything more?" -
John Van Der Schilden:
"The speed differences of the Pro 8a is very noticeable, and shooting fashion its great to be able to catch the in-between moments as the pack is always ready. Also great for movement - saves time with no wasted frames!"
Josh Cornell:
"The 8a Air has blistering speed and insane freeze action. You'll never need to listen for a recycle beep again! The 8a Airs are the strobe equivalent to the offspring of a F1 race car and a dragster."
Try them on your next studio or location shoot. Only available at S1.
Have a look at this video of Mark Wallace and see how fast he's shooting on the Pro 8a!

Camera Side Production For Your Next Shoot
Need to shoot in another city, or just across town? S1 has been busy providing camera side production, not just in our studios and in other studios in Toronto, but other Canadian and US Cities.
In Jan & Feb we have provided services on product, lifestyle, fashion, and television shoots.
See link forcamera side production services.
For a shoot we produced in Chicago, S1 provided the equipment rentals, digital tech, photo assistants, digital capture, flights, carnet, and digital imaging. For the parts of the production we don't handle, we teamed up with
FullServe Productions who looked after castings in Toronto and Chicago, booking 15 models, and their flights. FullServe were great, we highly recommend them! Give Julie Belanger or Raff Melito a call at 416-534-6363 if you need a great producer!
If you have a project where you think we might be able to help, remember that all our services are in house, and no running around for you. We have almost everything, and if we don't have it, we will bring it in for you.
