I just called up and the equipment had already been taken. I would have liked to get this stuff, but we are all so busy at the moment that it's hard to get things like this at short notice. Thanks for letting me know Andy. If you hear about anything like this again, please do let me know.

Maybe the chapter (or someone on their behalf) could collect this?

Dear All,

 

I have some studio equipment that needs to be removed from the museum on Friday, free to anyone who can collect it! It would be sad to see it end up in a skip so I thought I’d see if anyone might want it.

 

It’s all pretty old but still usable! Snaps attached. A Manfrotto still life table (with bespoke reinforcement made by our conservation technician, so you can shoot very heavy objects on it!), two Elinchrome flash heads…. one which works perfectly but I can’t remove the softbox. A stronger person than me may be able to get it off but hey… comes with free softbox! The other head needs to be repaired (the flash centre could sort it out pretty easily I think!) because the modelling bulb doesn’t work (new bulb, new fuse, still doesn’t work) but the flash works fine though so still usable as is!. Comes with a power pack for the two lights. Also have some accessories (umbrellas / modelling dishes / HUGE Octabox!) if they’re of any use.

 

I know it’s short notice but if anyone want’s this studio kit and can come to collect it from the Wallace Collection between 10am-5pm this Friday then you’re welcome to it! I’d be very happy if a fellow photographer or small museum could give it all a home!

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Cassandra Parsons
