Thanks for Visiting The Photography Show 2025!
A big thanks to everyone who visited The Photography Show last week at the ExCeL! A first for the show, the show was hosted in London rather than Birmingham, but we were pleased to see many familiar faces from the usual NEC location!
At Stand D110 (right by the cafe), we had our usual stand full of your favourite PiXAPRO and Godox photography and video lighting equipment.
Including everything from the new AD200PRO II and AD600PRO II flashes, the new V100 Speedlite, LA Series RGB LED heads, plus the newest equipment in the KNOWLED Video Lighting range!
Joined by a few of our amazing advisor team and all of our in-office staff, we took to the show floor to advise on the equipment we know best.

We also hosted our usual and popular on-stand lighting workshops from experts such as Gavin Hoey, Photography Session Days and Tommy Reynolds! All of our experts this year opened up their photoshoot sessions to allow visitors to take their own shots at the end of the workshops so they could try the equipment out themselves.
Did you get some snaps on our stand at the show? Tag us in your photos online @pixapro and @essentialphotovideo!
Tommy Reynolds & model Blue
Including some super fun demonstrations on creating Cinematic, Moody lighting for a character Joker photoshoot as well as fun with Monochrome yellow and balloons as props for an easy try-it-yourself LED photoshoot!

Thanks to models Chloe, Graham, and Blue for joining us!
Plus we also had a masterclass in advanced lighting set up, using only one light! Demonstrating the Godox KNOWLED LiteFlow reflectors, our team were able to show off how just one light can be used to light video or photo from multiple angles.
With just a few well-placed reflector panels, you can create the perfect, tailored lighting effect with miniscule adjustments that you wouldn't be able to achieve with multiple lighting units. Check out the results:
Plus a special THANK YOU to both OBSBOT and LensGo who joined us at the show to show their products to visitors!
We hope everybody who came to the show had a great time visiting! If you're planning on visiting the next instalment of The Photography Show, book the dates in your diary and come by to visit us again! Find us at the NEC, Birmingham once again between 14-17 March 2026 for more photography and video lighting and accessory fun.
With love, from the EssentialPhoto & Video team
