The first drop, featuring three custom colorways, will be available starting in March 2026, with pre-orders launching this month.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HH-headshot-SBL-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A person with pink hair and sunglasses lies on a white background, holding a red metal tripod.

If my light stands aren\u2019t in the photos, why can\u2019t they be fun to look at? Surrounded By Light is about giving photographers tools they can enjoy, brand themselves with, and feel seen using.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3I6A0254-534x800.jpg\" alt=\"Three photography light stands in blue, red, and yellow are set up indoors.

The first drop includes stands in Day Glow Green, Chroma Blue, and Warm Red, priced at $111 per stand. For added function, both the blue and green stands blend seamlessly with their respective chroma backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3I6A0062-3-640x800.jpg\" alt=\"A person in a blue bodysuit holds a large reflector in front of a cloud backdrop, with bright studio lights and photography equipment visible in the scene.\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-840311\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3I6A0485-534x800.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing black, sheer, rhinestone-studded gloves holds a folded, bright red tripod against a white wall.
