Capturing mouthwatering food photography in real environments—whether it's in the chef’s bustling kitchen, a stylish restaurant interior, or an open-air patio—requires portable, reliable, and precise lighting. When mobility and flexibility matter, Elinchrom’s battery-powered studio flashes and LED lights provide a professional solution that meets the highest standards of quality and control.
One of the key advantages of choosing Elinchrom for food photography on location is its battery-powered lighting systems, such as the Elinchrom ONE, THREE, or FIVE flashes, and Elinchrom’s battery-operated LED options. These lights eliminate the need for power outlets—so you can shoot in kitchens, dining rooms, or terraces without extension cords or power limitations.
With USB-C charging, you have the freedom to recharge your lights with standard chargers, car adapters, or even power banks. This makes Elinchrom perfect for mobile food photographers who need to work quickly and flexibly.
Thanks to Active Charging, you can even charge the battery while shooting, using a power bank or wall adapter—ensuring you're never without light during a long food styling session or commercial shoot.
Elinchrom’s lights feature intuitive interfaces and smart control options, allowing you to adjust settings directly from your smartphone via Bluetooth and the Elinchrom Studio app. You can control individual units or groups remotely, fine-tuning your setup in real time—whether you’re at the camera, plating the dish, or styling the set.
This seamless control means faster setups, less disruption, and more time spent focusing on creativity and composition.
