About the Space
This is a 1000 square foot flexible space with a photography studio. The studio is located behind a moveable wall you can see in the photos. The studio works well for fashion photo shoots, portraits, product shots, some conceptual work, and small video projects. Our photo/production studio is equipped with a seamless backdrops, tripod, continuous lighting and large video monitor, as well as a wireless PA system. In addition, the skylight and large windows provide great natural light.There is also a bathroom/changing room and small kitchen area available. If you would like to shoot in the gallery space, it is available in the evenings only. Please inquire for a custom rate for the gallery space. A few of the photos in this listing are included to show the type of shots and work that can be achieved in the space. A host will be present when you arrive and we will have the space set up for you prior to your arrival. A staff person is available for $25 per hour if you will require assistance during your booking. Our space is available for rent weekdays and weekends by appointment. We have a 2 hour minimum.

Space has natural light
Natural light can not be blocked out
Lighting description
We have a skylight that cannot be covered; however, light can be controlled well. The studio is behind a moveable wall. If the wall is moved forward it will block out the skylight, but it does make the space smaller. If you need the space to be completely dark, it's best to book at night.
Space is not soundproof
Ambient noise description
We are on a busy street, but the studio is in the back of the space. Many have recorded interviews and short videos without a problem during the day. It works best to use lapel mics. Also consider booking in the evening if possible.

Patrick P. booked a baby shower for 25 people
Sr. Community Content Manager
Yes, I would book again.
I had a great experience working with Erica and her husband Randolph to organize a baby shower for my sisters. They were very responsive to my questions, and encouraged me to do an onsite visit to physically check out the space to be sure it was the right venue for our celebration. The space was exactly how I imagined it would look from the pictures, but getting to see all the awesome artwork around the room made it even better! The day of the event, Randolph was a pleasure to work with. He made sure we had everything we needed for us to have a great experience for our event. Our guests absolutely loved the space and were glad we hosted here since they never would have discovered it otherwise. Some guests were interested in checking out the regular community events, and a few who got to thinking about hosting something themselves in the future. I would highly recommend this space and Erica & Randolph as organizers. Cheers!
