Carapau Rental Studio began its gear rental business over a decade ago, fully dedicated to providing photo equipment rentals and, on several occasions, local photo assistants or digi tech assistants.

"Major fashion brands, international magazines, and other industry leaders have chosen our country for their projects, with Carapau as their trusted partner for photo equipment and assistant services.

Your success is our priority. Our goal is to provide a seamless experience, ensuring you feel at home with both our gear and staff support, backed by our expertise.

Beyond simply fulfilling equipment requests, direct communication with first assistants or even the photographer has often proven essential in understanding project goals and aesthetic requirements. By embracing these projects as a shared responsibility, we are committed to delivering the best possible solutions."
