ARRI is a safe bet and offers a wider range of solutions than any other manufacturer. -- Olivier Rigal, Sales Director at Prophot

Established in Paris, Lille, Toulouse, and Lyon, Prophot is the undisputed specialist of professional photography and a connoisseur of its evolution towards digital for over twenty years. This led the company to become an ARRI Lighting distributor three years ago. 

“Today, there is such a close relationship between photo and video that we decided to accompany our customers in this transition,” emphasizes Olivier Rigal, Prophot’s Sales Director. “We have a high-end professional clientele made up of independent photographers and the integrated studios of CAC40 companies. They all welcomed the arrival of ARRI products in our catalog with enthusiasm. For them, ARRI is a safe bet and offers a wider range of solutions than any other manufacturer.” 

Rigal continues: “The ARRI HMI range, which allows for a fairly soft rendering, sells very well in photography. It appeals a lot to fashion and advertising photographers, with its high power close to the flash. This allows them to work in large aperture and fast speed. The SkyPanel series is more adapted to still photography, where you can play with the exposure time. It’s very soft, very uniform rendering, with a large lighting surface, is very popular with photographers. As for the new Orbiter, it is a natural complement to the SkyPanel. With it’s ability to focus light, to bring the subject to life, to create moods, it works perfectly with the current trend in photography which is to tell stories.”
