Who is Pro Photo Rental, anyway?
Our Staff
Why choose us?
You're a professional. You're an amateur. You're going on vacation. You just really like pretty pictures. Whatever the reason, Pro Photo Rental has got your back. This company was built from the sweat and tears of photographers trying to make a living. That's why we try so hard to make the photo/video equipment rental process an easy one.
At the risk of sounding like name-droppers, we've been fortunate enough to have our equipment go to NASA, Oscar-nominated directors, publicly-traded companies, major motion picture production houses, and network TV stations. We have clients in all 50 states, and our equipment has been on all 7 continents. That being said, some of our favorite clients are just starting out and amaze us with the art they create. What an experience!
We are always trying to think of innovative ways to change the game when it comes to renting equipment. We were the first online camera rental company to use a calendar system (hello, 2007!). Then we re-imagined what rental pricing should be and came up with our “anti-day rate” pricing that simplifies the rental process and saves you money. Not enough, you say? Well, how about the fact that you don't have to worry about your gear coming in a flimsy cardboard box? We pack our sensitive gear in Pelican cases that are nearly indestructible. We have had them thoroughly tested with lightsabers, fire-breathing dragons, antarctic conditions, and sent them through black holes. We figure that replicates about 80% of the hazards of a trip through the UPS shipping system. Also, every piece of equipment is checked thoroughly by our team of professionals before and after every rental. You can trust us to provide you with the best gear in the best condition.
Bottom line? We put effort into being worth your while.
Every member of our staff has experience as photographers and filmmakers. You can trust us. You're talking to real people, with real field experience, who can communicate with you like you're human... because we figure there is a good chance that you actually are. We want to make sure you're getting what you need, without fear of being upsold. You will not find any trace of a smarmy sales pitch here. You've got questions, we've got answers. Simple as that. Need help deciding on a setup? How can you get that perfect shot? We want to help. We practically live, breathe, and eat cameras. Well, okay, we don't actually eat cameras... that would be weird. The point is, we know a lot about photo and video production, and it's not fair that we keep all that knowledge to ourselves. We believe there is a greater purpose than just renting out whatever we can. We want to build a friendship. So let's be friends. Friends are awesome.
