More Climate-Conscious Purchasing When Buying Photography, Videography and Lighting Gear Please!

The climate breakdown is becoming more and more unavoidable. We need to be conscious of what we buy and throw away. Everything we buy has a cost to our environment. And buying photography equipment is no different.

We can reduce plastic waste by making more considered choices when buying photography gear. Rather than buying a low-quality piece of kit at a discount price, spend a bit more on better equipment. The cheap option will break within a year and end up in a landfill. The better option will be with you for years, reducing waste.

You’ll see consumers become greener and greener over the next 12 months and beyond. Photography manufacturers aren’t the biggest culprits. But they’ll have to become more climate-conscious as demands change.

This is why I recommend the following companies, because not only are they fanatics about quality, but their service is spot on. You will also be able to pick up great gear at a fraction of the cost of brand new and believe me, most of their items are almost brand new:
