Photography Lighting
At Park Cameras we offer a wide selection of photography lighting for every creative set-up imaginable. Browse for studio lighting and accompanying light modifiers to shoot subjects including products, portraits and food photography. We also stock flashguns and LED lighting for run-and-gun creators, light meters to get the perfect exposure and you can save with used accessories, when building-out your perfect lighting kit.
Photography and videography lighting falls within two main categories – interior studio lighting and location lighting, using continuous or flash modes. For the greatest versatility from any new light kit choose a lightweight solution with portable power. This gives you a system which works both in a studio and for location shoots.
A camera flash is the most portable option for portraits, fashion and to light smaller backgrounds, and can be used for studio and on-location photography. We have flashguns (speedlights) compatible with all camera brands, together with transportable light stands and flashgun accessories to refine your light output. Add a diffuser or flash gel for creative options, and take lighting to the next level with off-camera flash triggers and receivers.
Choose from our range of increasingly popular LED photography lights, which add the benefit of emitting both continuous and high speed flash output, often in millions of colours. This enables video and stills creators to use a single light, with compact portable models for location work along with the power required for elaborate studio shoots.
Whether you’re a working professional or enthusiast who enjoys capturing portraits of friends and family we have the perfect solution. Shop for complete photography light kits from industry leaders Profoto, Rotolight and Elinchrom, as well as Manfrotto who design a vast range of accessories for any creative situation. Enjoy free delivery on orders over £50 as well as a six-month warranty on most used camera accessories.
