Hello,
Before retiring, I spent many years as a professional photographer, primarily traveling and producing annual report photography for a major company. After retirement, I continued doing some independent photographic work for several of those same clients.
Eventually, I decided it was time to completely retire from my professional photography career. I sold my professional equipment and moved to Florida in 2004.
Then came COVID.
Like many people, I suddenly found myself spending much more time at home. I decided to put that time to good use by converting my garage into a small working photography studio.
That project developed into something I thoroughly enjoyed. I assembled this collection of cameras, lenses, lighting, studio equipment, and accessories and used it primarily for product and tabletop photography—photographing everything from bottles and other products to almost anything small enough to fit comfortably in the studio.
I also used the equipment for travel photography and, on many occasions, for professionally lit photography at my church.
What began as a way to stay busy during COVID became a hobby that I continued to enjoy for several years afterward.
While I will continue to enjoy photography on a limited basis, I have reached the point where I am retiring from the studio and tabletop work that led me to assemble this collection. I am now offering the entire collection as one complete package.
This is not a sale of individual cameras or lenses. The collection includes cameras, lenses, studio lighting, accessories, and other photographic equipment, all being offered together as one complete package.
The entire package is pickup only. Individual items will not be sold, and no shipping is available.
I have created a website where interested individuals or organizations can see the equipment included in the sale and learn more about the complete package:
The asking price for the complete collection is $4,900.
This package will not be right for everyone, but I believe it could be an excellent opportunity for the right photographer, photography organization, school, studio, dealer, or someone who wants to begin or expand a serious photographic operation.
If you know someone who might be interested, I would appreciate your passing this information along to them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any help you may be able to provide in finding the right buyer.
Sincerely,
Ben McIntire
