The Lighting Concierge™
Expert Photography Lighting Help, Equipment Recommendations & One-on-One Support
The Right Lighting. The Right Gear. Better Results.
Buying photography lighting equipment shouldn’t feel overwhelming.
Whether you’re searching for your first off-camera flash, upgrading your portrait lighting setup, building a studio, or trying to create better images, finding the right photography lighting equipment can be confusing.
There are hundreds of flashes, softboxes, light stands, modifiers, and triggers available today.
Most photographers don’t need more gear.
They need the right gear.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Tim Payne, owner of FlashGear, and I serve as your personal Lighting Concierge™.
My job is simple:
Help photographers choose the right photography lighting equipment, learn how to use it, and achieve better results with confidence.
What Is The Lighting Concierge™?
Think of me as your personal photography lighting consultant.
Before recommending equipment, I take the time to learn:
✓ What you photograph
✓ Your experience level
✓ Your goals
✓ Your budget
✓ What challenges you’re facing
Whether you’re photographing portraits, weddings, sports, pets, products, commercial work, or content creation, I help match you with lighting equipment designed for your specific needs.
No guesswork.
No wasted money.
No buying equipment you’ll replace six months later.
Just honest advice from someone who teaches photography lighting every day.

Many online retailers simply process an order and ship a box.
FlashGear is different.
When you purchase your photography lighting equipment through FlashGear, you’re gaining access to a Lighting Concierge who is committed to your success before, during, and after the sale.
One-On-One Support
When your lighting equipment arrives, you’re not left to figure everything out on your own.
Need help setting up your flash?
Need help pairing a wireless trigger?
Need help understanding light placement?
Need help choosing camera settings?
I’m available to help guide you through the process.
Learn Photography Lighting Faster
The biggest mistake many photographers make isn’t buying the wrong equipment.
It’s buying equipment without understanding how to use it.
My goal is to help you become comfortable and confident using your lighting system.
Whether you’re learning:
• Off-camera flash
• Studio lighting
• Portrait lighting
• Wedding lighting
• Commercial lighting
• Product photography lighting
• Softbox techniques
• Light modifier selection
I’m here to help.
