RPW Lighting is a lighting rental house located on the north side of Chicago. We provide lighting equipment for all aspects of film production including commercial, narrative, music video, corporate, social media, and more! Here at RPW, we pride ourselves in our friendly and professional service, along with making sure your creative and logistical needs are met for all of your projects.

RPW Lighting was founded in 2023 during a time where the film industry had been rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic and then immediately after, a long and grueling strike set by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. Something that sets us apart is our dedication to always move forward, and always make the best of the situations we’re handed. No matter what obstacles hinder your creative endeavors, we will do everything we can to continue supporting the growth, education, and passion for the art that builds a stronger community here in Chicago.

RYAN WINNICKI

Ryan Winnicki graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2019, specializing in Cinematography. Since then, he’s operated as a DP, gaffer, and key grip on several commercial, narrative, and other film productions, and has built up a collection of camera/lighting equipment in the process. In 2023, he created RPW Lighting, primarily catering to the commercial market, but still providing the tools and resources for other genres of film production. Today he continues to freelance in the same capacity, but with a new focus on promoting RPW Lighting as not only a resource for the Chicago film community, but also as a way to help bring the film community together.
