It’s always nice to be able to access and use equipment that you might not have readily available, which is why knowing about places that provide photography equipment rentals is super important! Sometimes you might a specific item for a project that you don’t really feel the need to own all the time, and that’s when rentals are a great idea. Rentals can also be a great way to test out a piece of equipment that you’re interested in so that you can confidently decide whether or not it is something that you want to invest in and purchase for yourself. We’ve created a list of some of our favourite places in Toronto to rent photography equipment to get you started! Take a look!
