We have tall chairs for makeup artists, and hydraulic chairs for the hair stylist. There are clothing racks, a dressing room for the models and wardrobe stylists, several folding tables for whatever you may need them for, and random pieces of furniture than can be used for sitting, or in your shoots as a prop.

What kind of equipment is included with a rental ?

The only things that will be made available to you are light stands. We have several standard light stands, and 2 boom stands.

Do you have any rental equipment available ?

We do have some equipment available for rent, and are constantly adding more. Currently we have a few 600 watt studio lights, several light modifiers including soft boxes, reflector cups, and beauty dishes. Wireless transmitters are included with the light rentals.
