Our Story
Our Story
Welcome to Obscura, where a passion for photography meets innovative design. Our journey began with a simple idea: to create tools that empower photographers to capture the beauty of light and shadow in their work whilst remaining creative and playful. What started as a small project has grown into a dedicated mission to enhance the art of photography for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
The Beginning
Obscura was born from a shared love of photography and a desire to push creative boundaries. Our founders, one a seasoned photographer and the other a talented product designer, recognised a gap in the market for high-quality, versatile tools that could help photographers bring more depth and dimension to their images whitlst remaining committed to eco-friendly practices and materials, ensuring our products are both innovative and kind to the planet. Thus, the concept of ShadowStacks was conceived.
Our Vision
At Obscura, we believe that every photograph tells a story. Our vision is to provide photographers with the tools they need to tell their stories in the most compelling way possible and provide innovative and sustainable photography tools, fostering a community of creatives who prioritise environmental responsibility. We strive to inspire creativity and innovation, helping photographers to see and capture the world from new perspectives.
Innovation and Craftsmanship
Our products are a blend of innovative design and meticulous craftsmanship. Each ShadowStack is carefully crafted to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and performance. We are committed to continuous improvement and constantly seek out new ways to enhance our products based on feedback from our community of photographers. Our products are made to the highest standards, proudly manufactured in the UK from sustainable bamboo, to deliver exceptional quality and durability.

We believe in the power of community and collaboration. We've built a strong network of photographers who share our passion for the art of photography. We are dedicated to supporting our community by providing resources, inspiration, and opportunities for collaboration. Your success is our success, and we are here to help you elevate your craft.
