Geekoto Flash Photography Equipment Introduced by Hiram Geekoto Sponsor Stream
Flash Masters sponsor Geekoto joins us as Hiram introduces the brand, shares the story behind how he came to lead the company, and walks through the products and philosophy that have made Geekoto one of the most exciting names in photography lighting.
Live with Hiram from Geekoto: The Story Behind the Brand, What Makes Their Flashes Different & Why This Company Does Things Their Own Way
We are thrilled to welcome Hiram from Geekoto: one of our brilliant Flash Masters sponsors for a fascinating and genuinely inspiring introduction to the brand and the people behind it.
Geekoto opened its US headquarters in January 2020 and immediately faced one of the most challenging two months in modern history when the world shut down. Their story since then is remarkable and in this stream Hiram shares it all, including how he was first introduced to the brand as a working photographer, what initially impressed him, what didn't, and why the company's willingness to listen and respond transformed his opinion entirely.
Hiram also walks through what Geekoto produces, why their approach to light quality and reliability sets them apart, and what is coming down the line for photographers in the UK and Europe who are just getting to know them.
A stream full of warmth, honesty, and genuine passion for the industry. 🎉
The top 5 things you will learn by watching this stream:
- The story behind Geekoto and how it grew from a flash Hiram wasn't sure about to the brand he now leads. Hiram shares the full journey from his first sceptical test of an early product, to the moment a rapid redesign based on his feedback made him realise this was a company that genuinely listened.
- What makes Geekoto's light quality different and why consistency matters. Hiram explains why consistent, reliable light output is the foundation of everything Geekoto makes and why that quality has won over professional photographers who previously used premium studio brands.
- Why Geekoto is more than just a manufacturer and how they support the photography community. Hiram talks about Koto's broader mission to support and elevate photographers, not just sell to them and why that ethos sets them apart from other brands.
- What Geekoto products are available and what is coming for photographers outside the US. Hiram walks through the current product range and gives a genuinely exciting preview of what is heading to the UK and Europe for photographers who have been waiting to get their hands on Geekoto gear.
- Why knowing your equipment inside out changes how you shoot. Hiram shares his perspective as both a photographer and a company leader on why deep familiarity with your lighting tools, rather than constant gear switching is one of the most underrated keys to consistent results.

I am a off camera flash obsessive wedding photographer based in the sunny North West of England. I shot my first wedding in 2006 and since then I have shot around 500 weddings across the UK and overseas. For the past 10 years I have also been running wedding photography workshops and in 2020 I set up my Patreon, which has now grown to a community of 250 photographers all over the world. I also love to make videos for my YouTube channel, which again is all focussed on wedding photography education and ‘How I Shot This’ off camera flash videos. I am also very proud to be an Ambassador for MagMod, Pic-Time and Studio Ninja.Myself and Helen Williams set up Flash Masters in September 2022 and I am so incredibly proud of what Flash Masters will become. A huge thank you to all of our Ambassadors, Sponsors and every single member of the community for helping to make this a reality. I am so excited to see where this journey takes us all!
