About the Space
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 space is my versatile photo studio where I do a variety of portraits (headshots to boudoir) and commercial work (all sample shots were done by me). The studio features 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 sample photos were all shot in the studio and show how creative the space can be, with different lighting and arrangements. Please ask if you're wondering how certain shots were created. The studio is also available for small offsite meetings or retreats. It has free wi-fi as well as a small kitchenette.
