The New Mark Mann Signature Kit by Harlowe is a collector-grade system for sculptural, soulful light where portraiture finds its edge.
NEW YORK, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harlowe, the creator-forward lighting brand redefining how light feels, announces the release of the Mark Mann Signature Kit: a highly limited, precision-engineered lighting system co-designed with renowned portrait photographer Mark Mann.
Limited to just 30 numbered kits worldwide, this collector-grade release celebrates the emotional power of light in portraiture. At its core are four Harlowe Blade 10 Spectra lights arranged in a modular square formation, producing Mann's new signature square catchlight, defining a subtle, cinematic touch that draws the viewer deeper into the subject's story.
"When you've spent your life photographing people, you start to understand that light isn't just about what you see, it's about what you feel," said Mark Mann. "That little glint in someone's eye, the softness around their face, the way light holds their story. This is the language of light when crafted with intention."
Compact enough to travel and strong enough for studio-grade work, the Signature Kit includes V-mount adaptors and a remote control panel for seamless, full-spectrum RGBCW adjustments, offering over 36,000 custom colors, 100 levels of saturation, and color temperatures from 1,700K to 10,000K. Magnetic barn doors and frosted domes deliver nuanced sculpting of shadows and highlights, while Harlowe's signature 1-to-5 adapter keeps cables clean and power flowing.
Every Signature Kit arrives in a bold red vegan leather case, fitted with engraved metal plates bearing Mark Mann's signature and an individual edition number - a statement of quality, craft, and creative edge.
The Mark Mann Signature Kit retails for $2,399 and is available now at www.harlowe.com and select Harlowe retailers.

ABOUT MARK MANN
Mark Mann is a photographer originally from the sun soaked streets of Glasgow Scotland.
His artistic journey commenced at the esteemed photographic program of Manchester Polytechnic. Following his graduation, he honed his craft under the tutelage of pioneering fashion photographers Nick Knight and Miles Aldridge, amassing a formidable portfolio while simultaneously developing his distinctive aesthetic.
After some years of meticulous apprenticeship, Mann embarked on an independent career, relocating to the vibrant metropolis of New York City. His editorial work has graced the pages of prestigious publications such as Esquire, Men's Health, Vibe, Spin, Fortune, Billboard, Parade, and Complex, among others. His lens has captured the essence of countless luminaries, including Robert Redford, Michael Douglas, Iggy Pop, Jack Black, the Black Eyed Peas, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Rihanna, Queen Latifah, Simon Baker, Stevie Wonder, Bradley Cooper, Willie Nelson, Sean Connery, John Hamm, and Jennifer Hudson.
Mann's commercial prowess is equally impressive, with a client roster that boasts an array of global brands, including Reebok, Adidas, Hennessy, Bombay Sapphire, Pepsi, Gillette, Vitamin Water, NHL, Zumba, Ford, Chrysler, and Svedka.
One of Mann's most celebrated projects was a year-long endeavor for Esquire Magazine, entitled "The Life of Man." This comprehensive exploration of American masculinity spanned eight decades, featuring eighty subjects ranging from infancy to old age. This ambitious undertaking culminated in a White House portrait of the incumbent president, as well as former President Clinton, among numerous other notable figures.
Most recently, Mann dipped his somewhat arthritic foot into the realm of dance photography with his critically acclaimed publication, "Movement at the Still Point," released by Rizzoli Publishing. This groundbreaking work has garnered widespread acclaim and achieved Amazon bestseller status.
