Urban lofts are some of our favorite venues to recommend for product and commercial photography. Loft style rooms are easy to customize; accessory lighting, brick walls, and vaulted ceilings just beg for a creative touch. One of our favorites is Create at Upscale, a dedicated
photography studio rental space located in the South Loop. Upscale is relatively new to the Chicago landscape yet they've hosted over 1500 photographers since their opening in 2020.
Upscale's loft selection includes boho chic decor with skyline views through massive windows. The main loft alone offers six creative sets, a full bar, a lounge, and bluetooth equipped surround sound speakers. Everything you need to put together a commercial project.
For product photography centered around cosmetics, weddings, contemporary decor, and other genres that benefit from white and natural light, have a look at Room 1520. Situated in the West Loop district, this venue is a wedding and commercial studio that exudes elegance and is ideally decorated for luxury projects.
