We have worked at Beowulf's studio twice. We used the space for a video shoot. Beowulf was super helpful and the studio is just wonderful. The whole crew was very happy to shoot here. Will definitely book again.
Ive been using Beowulf's studio space for my shoots and as always he has been very responsive, professional, helpful and accommodating. All the equipment that I needed for my shoot was set and ready for me to use on a day of my shoot. Studio is greatly equipped and best suitable for portraits or still life photography. Highly recommend Beowulf's studio! Thank you again!
It's always a pleasure working at this space which is just right for our needs and has an incredibly gracious host. This was our third booking and we will gladly book again.
Wonderful, legitimately talented and gracious host. Simple and great space with clean, functional and high end equipment at very reasonable rates. But, the best upside is meeting another hard working creative in New York City who is truly supportive.
Fantastic spot. Great setup and ambience was perfect for the shoot. Excellent hosting done by Beowulf as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better shoot!
I had an amazing experience in Boewulf’s studio photographing beauty shoot. It’s really well equipped,also available daylight if needed,great for portraits,still life photography. It’s also close to subway. Beowulf is extremely professional and very helpful through out the shoot. Has very fast response and very organized. He made everybody feel welcomed! I would highly recommend this studio!
Beowulf was great to deal with. Director and crew were very happy with the space!
Great studio and nice host who really knows his stuff
