Studio Equipment List

Discover the full range of professional equipment available at our Bayside studio, designed to elevate your photography and video projects. From top-tier lighting to versatile backdrops, everything you need is here to bring your vision to life.

Photography studio with colorful rolled backdrops, a large mirror reflecting a soft pink chair and lighting equipment.

150cm Octabox - Included in Hire

A versatile light modifier that’s ideal for use as a key light. Its large size creates a soft, even light that wraps around the subject, perfect for products, portraits, and beauty shots.

Removing the front diffusion panel gives a slightly stronger, more defined light. The octagonal shape also produces a clean circular catchlight in eyes and reflective surfaces, which looks more natural than a standard rectangular softbox.

Phottix large octagonal softbox studio light diffuser with black exterior and white front panel.

90cm Octabox - Included in Hire

A smaller version of the 150cm Octabox, this modifier creates a more focused, slightly harder light. It’s great for close-up portraits, beauty shots, or adding light to specific areas - like legs in a full‑length setup.

Its compact size also makes it a practical choice in tighter spaces or studios with lower ceilings, while still giving a soft, flattering result.

Godox 90cm octagonal softbox studio light diffuser with black exterior and white interior.

Constant Lights x 2 - Included in Hire

Small to medium white umbrellas are extremely versatile - they can bounce light for a softer feel or aim directly at your subject for a bit more contrast.

They create soft, flattering light with smooth shadows, ideal for products, portraits, or as a fill light. Lightweight and quick to set up, they’re a flexible choice for almost any shoot.

Strobe x 2 + Wireless Trigger - Included in Hire

A bare strobe produces strong, hard light with crisp shadows and bright highlights - think paparazzi or high-contrast fashion shots. For best results, position your camera close to the base of the strobe to minimise harsh angles.

Two black studio strobe lights mounted on adjustable silver stands, one with wheels and the other with stationary legs, against a plain white background.

5-in-1 Circular Reflector - Included in Hire

This foldable reflector is incredibly versatile, offering multiple surfaces to bounce, diffuse, or block light. It’s especially handy outdoors to soften shadows under the nose and eyes or enhance catchlights. In the studio, it can even replace a V-flat by clamping it to a C-stand for side fill.

Five-in-one circular photography reflector set with white, gold, silver, translucent, and black surfaces.

Scrim - Included in Hire

A scrim is a large frame with diffusion fabric, used to soften or reflect light. Moving the strobe closer or further from the scrim gives you control over light softness and intensity. Thicker white fabrics can also double as large reflectors or on-location V-flats, useful both indoors and outdoors.

Large rectangular photographic diffusion panel mounted on a metal frame with adjustable stands on wheels.

V-Flats / Polyboards - Included in Hire

Made from two panels of foam board joined into a “V,” these are essential for controlling light and shadow. The white side reflects light; the black side absorbs it, adding depth and contrast.

They’re also versatile as quick backdrops for tighter portrait crops.

Card Stock - Included in Hire

Black and white card stock is a lightweight, portable option for blocking or shaping light when V-flats aren’t practical. Black card can be cut into shapes to create creative light patterns - an inexpensive way to experiment with textures and shadows.

Two sheets of card stock paper, one black on top of one white, on a white background.

C-Stands - Included in Hire

Black and white card stock is a lightweight, portable option for blocking or shaping light when V-flats aren’t practical. Black card can be cut into shapes to create creative light patterns - an inexpensive way to experiment with textures and shadows.

Three silver C-stands with adjustable height and wheels, placed on a white floor against a white corner wall.

Sand Bags - Included in Hire

Black and white card stock is a lightweight, portable option for blocking or shaping light when V-flats aren’t practical. Black card can be cut into shapes to create creative light patterns - an inexpensive way to experiment with textures and shadows.
