Customer reviews

I walked in with a small apartment studio and a tight budget. They built me a two-light kit that fits in a closet and still gives me beautiful portrait light.
Being able to see the octabox and the strip box lit side by side made the decision easy. Great prices and they actually know the gear.
Needed C-stands, sandbags and a couple of LED panels the day before a shoot. Called, they had it ready for pickup the same afternoon.
