Jason Janik: Life as a Dallas Photographer: For students and assistants...

Profoto is hosting a demo and live shoot for students and photo assistants. It is part of their monthly photo contest, but I was told that the event is open for others to come and see/play with the Profoto toys during the student/assistant shooting breaks.

Understand, it isn't a workshop. However, you may pick up some great pointers during the gear demo and shooting.

Jason, this looks like a fantastic opportunity to see how to properly utilize equipment that I'll probably never be able to afford to rent, let alone buy. Sure hope there are people on the forum that can take advantage of this.

Looks like I mis-spoke. Free Profoto 8a Air rental for assistants

Very cool, Jason. If I were in Dallas I'd jump at the chance.

I went, but got there at about 7:30...everyone was pretty much wrapping up.

This morning I made a little shopping cart at B&H to see what the packs heads and modifiers we were shooting with were worth...holy moly, it came to over $25,000 for two packs, two heads and the parabolic. I snapped off a few pics, but nothing that was really worth anything.
