Studio Equipment/lights

hey jeff - sam buk and I have a full light kit we'd like to sell, It's fairly new, and used only once. We're moving house and just need some extra cash. If you want to know the specs you can email tizah03@gmail.com....or 0835861138/0722395945 :)

Graham Robertson has some lighting stuff as well. He's not badly priced and you can walk in and check the stuff out as well..

Keep me posted on your progress Jeff...I'll be looking at getting some lights soonish as well..

Hmmm,,, call me an entrepreneur if you will — I see a business model right here.

75th Studio — how does that sound?

:-)

Nothing much — guerilla style. What do we need?

1. space (building with a large enough empty space to do shoots and work)
2. lights, camera, lenses, film, memory cards ( or these can be brought by respect 'graphers)
3. fitting 'space', props for art direction, make-up stuff (these can be on the fly)
4. work stations to do post production + and virtual space for 'storage of photography'
5. a tight ass schedule to manage time + space
6. in two locations: johannesburg and cape town
7. film processing and development (ala dark room)

We could even run workshops; exhibitions; promotions, etc. What yáll think? I am sure we can gently persuade somebody to provide such, no?

75th Studio sounds like a grand plan. Go for it!

Awesome — I am on it like Kojak!

@Daz: I am in the design phase of the book — albeit it's still on paper. It will be ready by the next exhibition: 19th April.

*starts making calls…

I am so very in on this....

From thought to conception.... welcome back to johannesburg. The city where dreams get turned into reality in an Hour :)

The reason i want lights is, i want to do it and stop imagining if i could, what if.

So lebogang, let us know how we can fit into your ideas, or what that biz model will be, a collective or we just hire out that space belonging to an individual.

I mean its 1 thing to get lights for myself, but i do not have much creative space. (My girl will get pissed with shifting the furniture every weekend.

Sorta stuff. Lets do it.

I like the idea of a studio!!!

Okay, just so you know I figured it out. If you type a smaller than sign (shift + comma) everything after gets cut off. #bugfix

Oh, another thing we could do in/at the studio: sell photographs — in fact perfect the art of doing so: from online to offline to shipping; the try make the whole thing automated.

I know there is a lot of other web-services that allow that — call me a scientist, but I do believe there is value in knowing how things are done, plus it will add to South/Africa's intellectually property if we learn how to do it, and do it, African-Sty-lé.

Word.

Oh, yeah we can also have the 'tutorial' sessions — where 'graphers can impart knowledge on some these technical aspects of photography … sharing collective knowledge.

:-)

I'd say next year — most likely after April — but anytime.

The Cape Town chapter can start sourcing out the space — I'll be trying to get the JHB side done — and the finance thereof.

This all sounds amazing.

@lebogang - check out and ask @panascape on twitter - he had studio space he wanted to rent out/ share cost of rent with other togs - lower albert road [I think] Woodstock - HUGE space, but pricey. What would ROCK is having our own space though :) Woohoo how cool is this [how slow am I to twig onto this? lol]:)

Hey Lerato, we're trying to put together an annual exhibition and we could possibly work in collaboration with you.

How do we get in touch with you?
