The enthusiastic photographer: storage ideas for cameras & accessories

Lee is a Chinese photographer based in Stockholm. Her photo work is inspired by music, poetry, and the conversations she has with people she meets on her many travels. Lee loves to edit her photos to the sound of music, letting the tones and rhythms influence her creative process. Photography is heavy equipment, and Lee needs a lot of smart storage to organize and display her camera gear and music equipment, travel essentials, and vast collection of photography books and magazines.

A great display for your cameras & pictures 

If you love photography, you not only want to display your beautiful photos but also the cameras you use to take them. Open shelves allow you to showcase your favorite cameras and vintage camera equipment. A display cabinet provides ample storage space for accessories. Prefer to keep things out of sight? Place a box or basket in the cabinet for cables, memory drives, or other accessories.
