About Us

Jean du Plessis

CEO (Canada)

Well, since you asked...
We started doing photography in 1948. Airforce training in arial photography started 1957. We served our trade for many years working as news photographers, war photographers (Africa), magazine photographers, the glamour industry, and many many years running specialized photographic studios on two continents. We have combined experience of over 90 years, being passed on from one generation to another.

We had to keep up with the technological changes in photography and embraced the digital era with zest. In the late 80s came thermal imaging and thermal gas imaging. We still run studios, we still do contract shoots for industrial work and we take our equipment out on mountains, lakes, on the Canadian ice and in the African dust - in planes, trains, landrovers, backpacks and places as rough as the Hilton (~if you know what I mean).

Presently ZeeTee Studio imports professional photographic studio equipment, material, parts and technology from various countries. In Canada we assemble, finish, improve and add robust quality to produce a series of highly practical, sturdy, professional equipment that every studio photographer needs.

We don't believe in adding bells and whistles (even if you have to pay for it) that don't add value. Bells and whistles tend to break. Any photograper knows that the best equipment hardly ever break but when they do go down, it will always be on the most important shoot for the year.

We believe in strong, durable, hard working equipment that deliver their full potential shot after shot. We believe in making the highest quality products in a cost effective manner by refraining from wasteful fads and industry fashions that don't add value and quality to your bottom line.

When you own a ZT you own the best but you didn't get it cheap because its not cheap equipment.
