Elinchrom has aggressively expanded its offering of strobes for creatives in recent years. The 261 watt-second (Ws) $1,000 Elinchrom Three seems to be placed in position to be the "Just Right" adventure light Elinchrom is advertising.
Elinchrom announced the Elinchrom THREE, a new 261 watt-second (Ws) active charging, battery-powered, portable, off-camera monolight that sits in between the model ONE and FIVE systems.
While there are a multitude of lightweight portable strobes, few are powerful enough to compete with the sun or have enough juice to double as a studio strobe. Those are exactly the problems Elinchrom looked to address with its FIVE system.
Elinchrom has announced the Elinchrom FIVE, a new 522Ws active-charging, battery-powered, portable, off-camera monolight that lets users work equally well in the studio or on location.
Elinchrom has announced the Elinchrom One, its new portable off-camera battery-powered monolight that the company says has been requested for a long time. It features an integrated battery, 725 full-power flashes per charge, high-speed sync, and 131 watt-seconds (Ws) of power.
Elinchrom has released an app for iOS that allows for control of up to 20 strobes through your iPhone or iPad. Any Elinchrom strobe that supports and is connected to the Elinchrom Bridge can be controlled from the app.
Elinchrom has just released two new mid-range monolights that are both full-featured and surprisingly affordable for what they offer. The new ELC 125 and ELC 500 boast to 131Ws and 522Ws of power, respectively, and offer everything from standard options like TTL and HSS support, on up to more niche features like "Smart Pro-Active Cooling" and light-up logos that indicate flash group.
The Elinchrom Rotalux Softbox system is finally complete. 25 years after the popular light shaping system debuted, Elinchrom has finally debuted "Rotagrids" for all 12 modifier shapes, allowing Rotalux users to better control their light spread.
Elinchrom has partnered up with Light & Motion to announce the new Elinchrom ELM8: a battery-powered continuous LED light for photo and video shooters that they're calling "the most versatile continuous LED light on the market."
Some months ago, I did a speed riding photoshoot with FriedeFly in the Swiss Alps. I was able to try out some new stuff in the snow and managed to capture some really nice shots. During the shoot, I also played around with my old Jinbei DC II 600 V flash since I was fascinated by shots of skiers made with flash that overpowers the sun.
Elinchrom has announced a new docking station that lets you bring the 1200Ws power of the ELB 1200 into the studio for endless shooting.
Elinchrom has just announced the new ELB 500 TTL, the most powerful and portable TTL light ever made. It's a light for "adventurous portrait photographers shooting both in studio and on location."
After launching its Skyport Transmitter Plus HS system for Canon, Nikon, and (in the future) Sony, Elinchrom today announced its new Skyport Plus system, a universal radio transmitter that works with almost every camera to trigger almost every flash system.
Elinchrom today announced the EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus HS, a transmitter that not only lets you control and visualize the power settings of your lights, but one that opens the door to 1/8000s shooting in Hi-Sync mode.
Elinchom have just announced the Litemotiv, a new extension to their lineup of softboxes. The two new modifiers are made up of sixteen sides and come in two distinct sizes. According to the company, theses monster softboxes help to create “close to perfect catchlights.”
As photographers, we capture the light around us to preserve moments in time. Sometimes, however, we not only want to contain the light, but also control it. So, when Elinchrom asked us if we wanted to test their powerful ELB 400 portable battery pack and Quadra Pro flash heads, we, of course, said yes. Now, let’s see what we can do with 424 watts of portable power.
The Godox BFP Flash Projection Attachment is a $299 projection lens that allows users to create interesting, creative, and precise light and shadow patterns in their images with Bowens mount flash heads (optionally the BLP is available for continuous light sources). While it’s not the first system of its kind to hit the market, what makes this unit stand apart from the crowd is it has a 360° rotatable design, has significantly less light leakage, and supports Iris attachments from several other brands.
Fotodiox has announced the DLX Parabolic Focusing Softbox, a new hybrid softbox/reflector that provides photographers extensive control over the direction and quality of their light.
Accomplished fashion and portrait photographer Lindsay Adler has collaborated with lighting company Westcott yet again, this time for a new product built for photographers with a lot of gear to organize, the Westcott Float Wall Mount System.
The heavily anticipated Paul C. Buff Celestial Light has given photographers who shoot on location and on the move a compact, reliable, and affordable lighting solution for their work.

"SCARS" is a powerful short film about the role that lying can play and the effects it can have in our lives. My team and I had a wonderful -- albeit fast -- weekend working alongside the film crew to help create the visual content to help promote this story, from in-character social media profiles to microsites and, of course, the movie poster.
