Almost all our equipment is purpose made for the professional market. That means much of it requires specialist knowledge to use productively and safely. Most of you will have many years experience in the industry, but there are always new items on the market to review and familiarise yourself with. In addition many productions rely heavily on assistants who sometimes lack the depth of experience necessary to work with the broad range of equipment available for hire today.

Direct run a unique training and demonstration environment, custom-built and staffed by qualified trainers. You can test all their professional photographic equipment, or they’ll demonstrate it to you without the pressure of a large shoot. There are always courses running and you can book their facilities at any time.

Direct is part of The Metro Group, a set of companies united by a passion for photography. If you already have an account with Metro, you can also use services from Direct, and vice versa.
