Crane & Company has created new All Occasion portrait cards designed to celebrate the
best moments in life. Created to match the needs of
professional photographers, these cards are perfect for wedding announcements,
save-the-dates, engagements, anniversaries, birth announcements, christenings
and graduations. They feature 100 percent cotton papers and over a dozen
typestyles and ink colors. Crane will print these with engraving or thermography
and box them with an assortment of matching envelope linings. They also
offer paneling, bows, foil stamping, vellum overlays and embossing.
The
cards are sized for 5x5, 4x5 and custom-sized photographs. Each card
is equipped with unique tapes so photographs can be repositioned or removed
from the cardstock. The collection of new cards is displayed in an album
for presentation. This handsome book comes to the studio without images,
allowing photographers to add their own portraiture to the presentation
book. To carry this new line of Portrait Cards, call (800) 572-0024 or

Lowel-light Manufacturing, Inc. has updated many of its lighting kits.
Some of the kits star the compact new 250w Rifa-44 quick-setup soft light.
Several new kits offer four or more lighting instruments and sport a
wide array of accessories like reflective umbrellas, scrims, daylight-correction
gel packs and frames and reflectors. The company has expanded its line
of lighting stands to include the new Uni-TO Stand, which folds down
as compactly as the Uni-Stand, but expands to the height of the Omni
Stand. Additionally, they have upgraded all their stand and poles with
heavier aluminum alloy construction as well as cleverly enlarged collars
and locking knobs.
If you prefer fluorescent models, check out the dimmable
models of the Lowel Fluo-Tec studio line. They have been electronically
upgraded to
permit complete dimming control, 0–100%. The all-in-one Caselite
fluorescent system has had its mounting system enhanced with new mounting
plates and a stand-fitting bracket for flexible options in rotating or
mounting of the instruments. Find out more about Lowell products at info@lowel.com
