This beautiful storefront studio is 600 square feet on the ground floor with a cozy 150 square foot loft upstairs. It's located in the Ivy Hill neighborhood of Oakland, close to Lake Merritt, downtown, and freeways, with very easy parking. Away from the crowded Grand Lake/Lakeshore area, Ivy Hill still has a funky neighborhood vibe, with a couple of great indie cafes within a block of the studio, a small park with playground across the street, and larger conveniences such as Walgreens and Lucky within easy walking distance. The newly renovated space is primarily a versatile photo studio with an elegant dressing room and space for makeup and hair. The main area is roughly 14' wide x 20' deep with 12.5' ceilings. It's large enough to do a fashion shoot and intimate enough to do headshots, boudoir, and more. While the overall vibe is clean and contemporary, there are tons of different areas within the studio to shoot lots of different looks. The studio is also available for small events (up to 30 guests) as well as offsite meetings or retreats. It has free wi-fi as well as a small kitchenette.
No smoking of any kind is allowed inside the studio.

Nice, clean spot that was perfect for our small rehearsal. Really grateful for the host coming to find me as I wandered around aimlessly through the neighborhood trying to find the studio, lol (FYI it is right off of Park St.; my Uber driver took me too far up the block). Thanks again!
This my second time coming to this studio and again, Cheshire was accommodating and the studio is always clean when I come in! I plan to book again for future shoots!
