Southeast’s Showcase Photo Video

As an advertising photographer videographer based in Los Angeles who goes on location, Showcase Photo Video in Atlanta is the kind of store I dream of finding.  It is easy to find just off the I-85 in central Atlanta.  As soon as you walk it shows they know photography and video.  It is a bright and organized store that seemingly has everything right where it should be and I mean everything.  The selection of gear is tremendous.

The staff working at Showcase are friendly and knowledgeable.  They take the time to talk with you so they can make sure what you get fits your needs.  They know about photography and video so can offer a selection of solutions for your needs.  While setting up for my Secrets of Video for Photography events they hosted, we had a nice chat about the latest equipment I am showing including the amazing Manfrotto 050 photo/video fluid head that solves many of the problems with shooting photos and video on a tripod.  They also were at my events last year at the APA Atlanta chapter on video for photographers to make sure they were up on the latest.

Showcase Photo Video also has the Showcase School which is dedicated to photo and video education.  The school has a wide variety of classes from very basic to professional level. www.theshowcaseschool.com

Showcase Photo Video is a great resource for those working anywhere in the south eastern United States.  They are at 2323 Cheshire Bridge Road, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30324. 800.886.1976 www.showcaseinc.com.
