Each month we highlight a certain item in Profoto’s rich assortment of Light Shaping Tools. We have previously talked to Alex Giacomini about the Umbrella XL, Knut Koivisto about the HR Lantern, Tom Epperson about the Softlight Reflector, Joao Carlos about the Softbox 3×4’ RF, Kristoffer Lönnå about the ProRing 2 and to Chen Wei Li about the classic Zoom Reflector. Next in line are Jessica Lund and the Profoto Giant Silver.

Jessica has been in the business for 13 years. Like many other freelance photographers, she does a little bit of everything – portraits, fashion, editorials and so on. The common denominator is that most of Jessica’s assignments include people in the entertainment industry, such as musicians, actors, writers and TV presenters.

The images in this article are the results of one such assignment. They depict singer and songwriter Laleh, shot for the cover of the December edition of the Scandinavian music magazine GAFFA.

“Shooting musicians is by choice my favorite assignment,” says Jessica. “To me, musicians are everyday heroes. They put words to things we all feel and they help us understand ourselves better. To me music is pure energy and music inspires me a lot in my work as a photographer and often helps me get into a certain mood before a shoot for instance.”
