This man tells it like it is. I'm glad the profoto stream isn't just gear talk.

Didn't expect much, but your perspective on the art is a welcome change from the dollar chasers...

Kareem's passion of photography is great but most of his videos have nothing to do with Profoto (except the one about the mag reflector)
