As vital as lighting itself, photography light stands are a crucial part of any photographer or videographer's lighting kit. Light stands provide a stable base for lighting equipment and enable the creation of various lighting scenarios and effects. An excellent quality light stand should also be sturdy enough to support the weight of the lighting equipment, yet light enough to be easily portable. This is particularly important for photographers who often work on location.
At PROtog, we’ve long praised the photography light stand and what it brings to a shoot. That is why we’ve sourced an exceptional range of boom light stands, studio lighting stands, and heavy-duty light stands, so that no matter what light stand you need, we’ll have the one that is perfect for you.
One popular type of light stand is the boom light stand. This type of stand features an extending arm that allows photographers to position their lighting equipment in unique and creative ways. Boom light stands are particularly useful in portrait photography, where they can be used to create dramatic lighting effects by placing the light source above or behind the subject.
Studio light stands are another type of stand that is commonly used by photographers and videographers. These stands are designed for use in a studio environment, where they can be left set up for extended periods of time. Studio light stands are typically heavier and more robust than other types of light stands, making them ideal for supporting heavy lighting equipment.
When it comes to choosing a stand, it's important to consider the specific needs of your shoot. If you're working on location, a lightweight and portable stand will be essential. Look for options with quick-lock or twist-lock clasps, which allow you to set up and take down your equipment quickly and easily.
If you're working with heavy lighting equipment, a heavy-duty light stand will be needed. Look for stands made from sturdy materials like steel or alloy, with spring-type or air-type cushioning to supply extra stability. Heavy-duty brackets and flash holders can also be used to further support your equipment.
In addition to traditional light stands, boom stands are also a popular choice among photographers and videographers. These stands feature a pivoting arm that lets you position your lighting equipment in many ways. Boom stands are particularly useful in product photography, where they can be used to create even lighting across a range of angles.
