Dear Photographer,
In the past few weeks we have received a number of requests for advice on ‘what lighting equipment is required to set up a photographic studio’ and/or ‘what lighting is required for a particular shoot’? After asking questions and probing into what the particular photographer’s setup is, or what their location or subject matter is, we have been able to assist them with the most suitable lighting equipment for their desired application. That is what we do at Photographic Gear - ‘to provide our customers with the most personalised service and advice that they can walk away with absolute confidence’ that they have the right equipment on hand to meet their signature photographic needs.
If in any way we can be of assistance to you in setting up your photographic studio, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be more than happy to assist you with the most personalised attention and best advice in terms of what equipment to use. In the meantime, please do have a look some of the more recent items received and pre-owned equipment below; and if there is anything particular you need, please do not hesitate to contact us – we will be more than happy to assist.
