You know I have to go on a plane right?
hmm... I'm going on a plane tomorrow.
Yeah. Yeah, and I'll see you in a little bit,
and I'll miss you so much. Yeah, and I'm
going to stay with Daddy. That's right you're
going to stay with Daddy.
Yes I'm going to Alaska on a fun trip so
here's what happened a couple months ago.
Profoto sends out an email, it's like an
evite thing, and they invited me to go to
Alaska all expenses paid. I don't think I
could have say yes fast enough. It's
definitely on my bucket list, so cool.
Sounds amazing, but what are we doing
there, and the answer I got from them
was.. 'we're not telling you!'.
MUSiC TRACK
Hey what do you think Profoto is doing in Alaska?
Five o'clock in the morning is
always awesome. Kids are crying because
for some reason they're awake. Could
probably hear the baby.
I always feel awful having to leave.
Coffee at least I can do is make me feel
better. Did I mention there's a hurricane coming?
RADIO " that as we start to see a little bit of
light behind me"
So I just finished drooling on my sleeve
here, and then I wake up and realize
we're still on the ground,
and
I might miss my connection
Would totally love to be sleeping right
now but...doing some work and
Watching infinity Wars.
So it looks like I'm gonna make it. So
that's good, but a fun story. Is that we are
still taxiing on the runway, and like ten
people get up, will not sit back down,
to the point that the services have to
let them know that the plane would no longer
be moving...
To the point that the services had to
let them know, that the plane would no
longer be moving... at all..
Have some angry people...
Here's where I got
the courage to introduce myself to
Me Rah Koh, even though that is so
outside my comfort zone.
The plane is too loud for audio, so you get
this voice "your tray tables are upright and
your headrest are lowered flight check
is for arrival.. Be seated".
This is Kelly, this is Me Rah. Hi!
What do you think they're gonna
show us today today? Hope.. I don't know
today, tomorrow, next day.
I hope you show us appetizers the likes of
with a drink.
I agree and maybe some lights..
We will eat one day, it's been like 12 hours,
so I just got to my room and already.. Notice...
Creativity Unleashed! Alright shoot on
location throughout resort in small
groups. What did I also get here... like this!
See you at cocktails and Welcome Dinner,
which I'm actually like really late for
right now. But I want to keep opening my
presents, yes a mug, two for me, none for you.
Oh wait a minute, I found a clue, look at
that. That's clearly an A1, but that I
don't know what that is.
We are here.. board meeting 9AM.
Is this a knife...?
This is the release...
This is the B10... Ridiculous super powerful.
It's five times more powerful than flash.
So amazing!
JB! What's up? Hey Sal, say hi to everyone.
What shall we talk about, I was talking
about how I am intimidated by all
the great photographers.
Well we're out here and for some
we're gonna get to use
the B1/ We've been split up into groups
to go on separate adventures, and so far
my vision is not looking too bad.
my shutter speed is at 200 so we're good,
and then I'm gonna put my white balance up to
5800. Cause that light is 5600...
and I want it a little bit warmer. My
suggestion is, if we can bring the flash
power down a little bit. I think so, I'm,
you're gonna put the light about where
it was. The same distance as your had it
before from them.
I feel like maybe I had a little team, a little
team work, that's awsome...
Now the first shot, get down in the dirt
I want you... Oh this is what I am working on..
First of all I am selling my B2's. Just am
and they knew that like,
Profoto knew that this B10 would
trump the B2, because it's just as
powerful. It doesn't have the cord.
It's not as heavy so it's not as
cumbersome so it pretty much is
replacing to B2.
But they don't care they don't care
because they know they want to push
forward. They know they want to be five
years ahead of anything else. Think about
that. Like mind blown! Alright, so we just
got done with the challenge. I don't know
what we're winning they didn't say
anything about the prizes! But the idea
is that we have to.. in one image talk
about Creativity Unleashed, and there are
no rules but they did give us a bag of
props. I can't even explain the
excitement. I've never had a photo that I
have worked on, much less click the
shutter and been a part of like a
collaborative effort like this. Five
photographers with their minds going
crazy, and then seeing it come to life is just, it's
insane. I don't even care if we win at
this point. It is, just I'm so excited to
be able to put my name next to these
photographers, next to this image.
I got some gold....
We just finished the live stream with
Adorama, think it was really fun, really
invigorated by it, and thank you guys for
those of you there with all the comments
and stuff. So I'm really excited all
right. Well it's time to go, we're going
to the top of the mountain today, top of
the mountain today, and I just walked
past one of the models, and she's super cute.
The bugs are AMAZING!
Oh my god my friend is going to be like so
happy to hear that I met you...
Can I actually get a picture with you?
This isn't a bad drive, not a bad way to get to a
cruise. Going to see some glaciers, maybe see some
bears or moose before we even get there.
Well we wait and see who wins.
It's an honor for me to present the
winner of this competition Group number
Three....woooo!
In case you're wondering this is my sore
loser face, they're really good images
you can check out ProFoto's Instagram
for all of them. Mine's not on there, but
I'm gonna say ours is pretty awesome!
I'm gonna post it, I think it's great
Ir's 5 o clock in the morning, this is the
only thing I want to see right now.
So tell me me your favouite part of
this week?
Well we had two separate beds at the
hotel, which is probably the best part.
The best part was actually to do something that we
don't normally do. Which is see what is
happening in front of you and capturing
that. B10 85lbs, those lights I can
actually carry.
Powered small, but you're still gonna
carry it. I know.
I so often teach how to
take photos, how to run a business, and
how to have a life, that I often forget
how to do those things better myself.
I've always had the mantra that you
should never stop learning, but I have a
hard time making the space that I need
to do that for myself. Going to Alaska
with Profoto to release their new
B10 strobes. Of course the light is
amazing. Of course that gave us the
opportunity to shoot with it, but what I
loved most was that they created time
and place, for so many incredible and
unique photographers, to be able to
breathe and to go back to learning, and
being inspired by those around us. I'm so
grateful for all my new friends, and to
Profoto for constantly thinking of us,
and being the first to innovate and push
the status quo no matter what.
