Rental- Light Tent, Reflector & Flash

preilly79

Hi,

I've been asked to do some simple product shots for the company I work for and was wondering if anybody here knows where i could rent a Light tent (or softbox), flash and reflector for a day or two?

I'm in dublin, so anybody in the city or surrounding area would be perfect.

Cheers!

I think Conn's rent them, just off Grafton street.

I made my own, just bought a washing basket, it's a cheapo one that has like a big spring around it, and you can squash it down like a reflector. I also got a sheet of perspex and have one side of it white, I put the stuff on the clear side and it helps get rid of shadows.. I just use normal lamps for the lighting source and adjust the colour balance if required. I haven't got any shots on this laptop of it in action, but I'll have a flick around the other pc's for some, there around somewhere.

It does work well, I got it all to do a job for a jewellers and it works a treat!

DML in portobello - much bigger selection than Conns, and a nice bunch to deal with
