Your flat lay photography solution.

Profoto StyleShoots™ Horizontal Machine

For those products best shown from above, the Horizontal Machine is your flat lay photography solution. A large table capable of flat lay photography for products measuring up to 1110 x 1650mm and surrounded by colour balanced and software-controlled LED lights. The imaging is taken care of with the built-in professional series Canon camera and Canon ‘L’ series lens. The backlit glass bed works in conjunction with the software to automatically create perfectly clear cut photos.

Like all our other machines, the dedicated iPad and software allow for a painless operating experience so the stylist can focus on the product. Overlays can be saved, allowing consistency every time within your product or fashion flat lay. With the ability to save custom presets and export files to any number of file formats and sizes, the process from capture to upload is seamless. The software will even apply custom digital shadows to ground your products with complete control over blur, opacity, and offset if desired.
