Lighting rental in Düsseldorf
Light is our craft. We work as gaffers, with our own gear and vans, and read your list with exactly that eye: if something is missing, we tell you. If you also need electricians on set, you can book our crew as well. More at hillward.de/dusseldorf.
For advertising and fashion
Düsseldorf is known for its advertising agencies and for fashion. For campaigns and fashion shoots, we put camera, lenses, lighting and grip together in one quote. Our lighting crew has worked on Fortuna Düsseldorf’s adidas jersey launch 2022/23, for Deichmann and on L’Oréal Men Expert x NFL, among others.
To set or ready for pick-up
We have established partners in and around Düsseldorf, in Cologne and in the Ruhr area, and source from the ones that suit your location. Gear is delivered to your studio or location in and around Düsseldorf, or you collect it from the rental house yourself. The quote shows what delivery costs.
