LIGHT METERS Studio. Stage. Location. Good lighting is more than just correct exposure. And correct exposure is more than just the right camera settings. Properly shaped light is vital to storytelling. It directs the viewer and sets the mood. And correct exposure is critical to achieving full tonality and proper color saturation. When working with moving images, both have to be done right and done on time. That is why Sekonic light meters are the choice of serious cinematographers the world over.
LIGHT METERS Studio. Stage. Location. Do you know the dynamic range of your camera? Every camera system is unique. Optical, mechanical and imaging components act on each other to produce slight differences in exposure and dynamic range of the camera system. Sekonic helps you discover the differences in your camera and use the information to accurately control light, make better exposures, and take better pictures than ever before.

ELECTRONIC FLASH SYSTEMS Powerful and Precise Profoto D1 Monobloc System Ask any professional photographer why they use Profoto strobes and the answers are identical: consistency, consistency and consistency. And, oh yes, Profoto’s are the most durable and trouble-free units on the market. So it’s not surprising that the new D1 line of digital compact electronic flashes follow that philosophy.
