I use this flash for fashion portraiture... It has never let me down. The effect it produces when mounted on the camera is quite unique and will wow your clients 9 times out of 10, but i've also found that using it as a floor bounce with the optional reflector dish makes for a fantastic catch light... I use it all the time.

Popular with fashion photographers for freely positioned, direct, and detailed light without harshness. Excellent for small interiors such as automobile photography, or table top applications. The ring flash fits all Pro-7 generators, and is an entirely mobile source of light. The adjustable tripod mount bracket and wide interior (100mm diameter) allows for fitting all types of cameras and lenses in many formats.
Optional accessory reflectors expand the ring flash's capabilities further. Optional Softlight Reflector increases the light source, for fewer sharp shadows. Optional Close-up Reflector focuses the light source 20" (50cm) in front of the camera lens. With smaller objects, the effect is completely shadow-free.
Profoto flash heads are as practical as they are elegantly simple. All Pro-7 heads accept Profoto's system of modular light shaping tools. The basic Profoto modular flash head design features a circular, heavy duty Quartz flash tube which surrounds the modeling lamp. It provides even illumination and maximum light output. All lamphead cables feature Profoto special connectors for safety, security and convenience, and new dual lead technology for better, reliable performance. All heads feature 5/8" stand adapter.
Interchangeable glass covers can be selected to warm or cool and soften or sharpen the light to your personal style. In combination with frosted or clear UV coated or uncoated Profoto glass covers, an effective change of lighting warmth and character can be achieved.
