Sometimes, professional photography and video lighting can be best observed when seen in context.
Product specifications are useful, but they can only tell you so much. Sometimes, you need to see the size of a light, understand how a modifier changes the look of a setup, compare options side by side, or simply talk through what you are trying to achieve with someone who understands the kit.
That is exactly why a visit to AJ’s Photo Video in Bruton can be so valuable (not to mention, we can offer a great cup of coffee).
Based in sunny Somerset, AJ’s Photo Video is home to a professional lighting showroom, studio solutions space and Profoto Experience Centre, giving photographers, videographers, production teams and businesses the chance to explore specialist equipment in person.
Whether you are planning a new studio setup, upgrading your lighting kit, improving your e-commerce photography workflow or looking for practical advice before investing, our Bruton showroom is designed to help you make more confident decisions.
Step Inside AJ’s Before You Visit
Before you visit in person, you can also step inside virtually. Our virtual tour gives you a feel for the AJ’s showroom, the products we work with, and the kind of professional photo and video lighting solutions available.
It is a great starting point if you are researching studio lighting, comparing equipment, or planning a future appointment with the team.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to determine how a light handles and shapes a scene from a product page alone - and for this reason, many professional creators like to get hands-on with lighting equipment before they make a final decision on which setup is right for them.
At AJ’s, visitors can explore a wide range of professional photo and video lighting equipment, including Profoto lighting, modifiers, grip, stands, accessories and studio solutions. Our Profoto Experience Centre gives you the opportunity to see how different lighting tools work in a real environment, making it easier to understand which setup suits your style, space and workflow.
For photographers, this might mean comparing lighting options for portrait, commercial, fashion, product or location work. For videographers and content teams, it could mean looking at continuous lighting, LED panels, grip support and practical on-set solutions. For e-commerce businesses, the focus might be consistency, efficiency and repeatable product photography.
Whatever the project, seeing the kit in person can help turn a vague idea into a practical plan.
Why Visit AJ’s Photo Video in Bruton?
Our showroom is not just a place to browse products. It is a space for conversations, demonstrations and advice. If you are unsure which light is right for your work, what kind of modifier you need, or how to build a more efficient studio setup, a visit gives you the chance to ask those questions properly.
You can talk through your current challenges, whether that is limited space, inconsistent product images, lighting for video, on-location work, or choosing between different professional lighting systems. The aim is not just to show you what is available, but to help you understand what will actually work for you.
AJ’s is located at Unit 6a, Old Mill Business Park, Station Road, Bruton, Somerset, BA10 0EH
Visits to the showroom are by appointment only, so please contact the team in advance to arrange a suitable time.
Make a Day of It in Bruton
If you are travelling to AJ’s from further afield, Bruton is well worth exploring while you are here. This small Somerset town has built a strong reputation for creativity, independent businesses, food, art and countryside charm, making it a lovely place to combine a showroom appointment with a wider visit.
For food, coffee or a relaxed stop before or after your appointment, At the Chapel is just nearby in the heart of Bruton. Set in a Grade II listed town-centre building, it includes an all-day restaurant, in-house artisan bakery, wine store and boutique bedrooms, making it an easy local recommendation for visitors planning a longer trip.
Bruton is also home to Osip, a farm-to-table restaurant set among the rolling Somerset hills. It is a lovely example of the area’s creative, seasonal and highly considered approach to hospitality, and a good option for visitors who want to turn their trip into more of an occasion.
For something cultural, Hauser & Wirth Somerset is one of Bruton’s best-known destinations. Occupying a former farmstead, it hosts contemporary art exhibitions, events, learning activities and artist residencies, making it a natural stop for anyone working in photography, design, production or the visual arts.
If you want to understand a little more of the town itself, Bruton Museum tells the story of Bruton’s local history, including its Saxon origins, medieval past and creative connections. It is a small but useful stop if you want to add some local context to your visit.
A little further out, The Newt in Somerset offers gardens, restaurants, shops and immersive estate experiences, making it another popular destination for visitors spending time in the area.
And for photographers, Bruton also sits within easy reach of some brilliant Somerset shooting locations. The surrounding countryside offers plenty of seasonal backdrops, while places like Glastonbury, Castle Cary, Frome and the wider Somerset landscape can give visitors more to explore if they are planning a location shoot, test shoot or creative day out around their AJ’s appointment.
