Photolease have built a reputation based on integrity and a thorough understanding of the industry. Their desire to do business has helped aspiring photographers along their career paths, and large studios with digital capture, output and lighting installations.
Can I open a trade account with AJ's?
Although we don't run accounts for individuals, accounts can be set up for large studios, government organisations and companies (on application only). Normally we ask that we take orders via the website or phone for a number of consecutive months to ascertain the level of business so as to work out your credit limit and payment terms. Please contact us for more information.
What's the difference between Profoto's RFi and OCF ranges?
The RFi (Recessed Front improved) range is a weightier, sturdy addition to any photographer's arsenal. Typically these are used in high use envioments such as busy e-comm studios.
Whereas the OCF (Off-Camera Flash) light shapers are extra small, super portable and tailor-made for fast and easy on-location photography and designed specifically for the latest Profoto Battery Heads.
Both are extremely well-constructed and have different advantages depending on your workflow, a given assignment and the flash heads you use.
Please note that OCF tools are only compatible with the B series of heads such as the B1X, B10X, whilst the RFi tools are compatible with all Profoto D1, D2, Pro-D3 Heads amd Pack Heads for the Pro Pack series.
Can I buy any colour of Colorama background paper?
We only sell Colorama Background paper, meaning we can only supply specific colours.
Please follow this link to see the colours we offer Backgrounds.
Certain colours are only available in certain sizes. Please also note that colours will sometimes be discontinued by the manufacturer without prior notice.
Can I have my own colour of paper produced?
Sadly that isn't an option we offer. This would be done by a paper manafacturer and is often costly in comparison to our off the shelf colours seen here.
