SPACE 01 is a 930 sq ft industrial natural light studio and gallery in Belmont Cragin, built with photo, video, and small productions in mind. The space is set up to actually work for creatives who need flexibility and room to move.
It features tall ceilings, white walls, grey floors, and large south-facing windows that bring in steady light throughout the day. Strong fit for portraits, editorials, content shoots, and multi-subject setups.
The layout is open and easy to work with. Load-in is simple, setups can shift quickly, and resets don’t slow things down. The space stays minimal on purpose so there’s no fighting the background or overworking the styling.
SPACE 01 is fully modular. It can handle multiple setups, backdrops, and lighting gear, or be used as-is with natural light. Common uses include portrait sessions, brand content, music videos, interviews, castings, and small productions.
Included:
South-facing windows with consistent natural light
Pedestals, basic tools, and electrical access
Bluetooth speaker
Ground-level entry for easy load-in/load-out
Free street parking directly outside
The space hosts monthly exhibitions, so artwork or installations may be present during bookings. Most shows are designed to stay flexible and work alongside shoots, but if clear walls or a specific layout is needed, it’s best to check in advance.
Light onsite support may be available during bookings for quick adjustments or questions. The space is an active art gallery kept clean, flexible, and designed to keep productions moving without friction.
