I love all kinds of lights but the D2 gives me such a wide range of possibilities, and because of its speed, it is easy to freeze one moment and get a slight variation of that particular moment quickly.

Matthew Jordan Smith, photographer

Since beauty photography is all about portraying details and to make sure all the details are in focus, it’s important to work with a small aperture so that your depth of field is not too narrow. The Profoto D2 1000 AirTTL allows me to capture crisp details and textures in all their micro glory.

Kate Whyte

When I saw the new Profoto D2s, I was so excited how light and simple they were for on-location shoots, and I’ve loved using them ever since I got them.

John Russo, photographer

The Profoto D2s give me the speed I need. They never disappoint.
