Burbank Loft Spacious Photography Area

Before booking this space, we looked at some others here on PeerSpace and also FD studios. None of them came close to this gem. What makes it stand out among the others is... 1. Their killer price with no "hidden fees". For example, beware of a so-called "Power Host" here on PS that is pulling a bait and switch routine. His price clearly shows $36/hour for 10 attendees but he will then add on another $5/hour for 10 attendees and other fees on top of that. Yes, that's right $36/hour is for 5 attendees, not 10 attendees as advertised, and by the time we added up everything his $36/hour turned out to be over $45/hour which is crazy for his small space. The reason, I bring this up is you don't have to worry about such dishonest bait and switch tactics with this studio. Their advertised price is the actual price with no hidden fees! What you see is what you get! 2. No it's not the biggest space, but more than likely you don't need the biggest space. I would estimate it to be medium size (about 800-1000 sq ft) which is plenty big enough for most photo shoots. We had 13 people total with four subjects and we were very comfy. In fact, I would say that that a large studio is a detriment to the vibe and that this size is ideal because it's so much more comfy and welcoming than a larger studio. 3. Two bathrooms (male and female) and one big room for wardrobe and make-up with clothes hanging rack and all. It did not have a separate room to change wardrobe but the girls just used the restroom if they wanted privacy. 4. A nice two-wall white cyclorama in the main studio room. And, they don't charge you for repainting the floor! Try finding that anywhere in LA! It will be all white and beautiful when you arrive and no "as-is" BS so they can jack the price up on you like all the other studios. Also, they have a black and grey paper pull down background at no extra charge. Again, try finding that anywhere in LA!!! And, they have some other cool backgrounds like garage doors and painted walls. Also, they have a couch in the main studio and several chairs so plenty of spaces to sit down for talent and guests. 5. Great room up front for your snack and refreshments and also a second couch there for guests. 6. Comes with 2-4 strobes with trigger and receivers. And, a great selection of studio pro soft boxes including a 47" soft box. Also, a custom made Kino Flo. All included in the price!!!! And, I was concerned since the lights were not the top brand/price but trust me when I tell you it's all that your photographer will need. We used one of Beyonce's photographers and she was down with the studio, lights and all: http://www.cecileboko.com 7. It's in Burbank. Who wants to travel downtown and pay the ridiculous parking fees and fight that killer traffic? Not me! My time is much too valuable. How about plenty of free street parking and an extra large free parking lot if needed? If you are renting a studio downtown you need to add your time at the wheel and your parking fees to have a fair comparison with a studio like this. 8. And, I saved the best for last....As you know, all too often LA businesses typify the typical non-caring, self-absorbed attitude. In contrast, Englon and her husband, Sham, are the epitome of cool!!! Did I say cool? Yes, but you won't really understand what I'm saying until you meet them. I am talking best friend and family type of coolness. They will go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied and make you feel all so important in the process. And, if you don't know, photography and videography are art forms. Hence, if you don't have the right vibe, you won't get the right shot, it's that simple. A studio that has a rude, arrogant owner that wants to rip you off with all of their add-on fees, is just not worth it folks. We feel like we have met some true lifelong friends with Englon and Sham. I hope this in-depth review helps you make your decision. I went out of my way to let you know how I feel because I was so tired of all the underhanded pricing tactics of many of the studios here on PS and in LA in general. Waste your time if you want to trying to find a better studio at this price. Trust me when I tell you, it's not going to happen!!! For the price and service this is as good as it gets, period!

This was a wonder place to shoot. Plenty of space for myself the MUA and models. The hosts were absolutely amazing and very kind! Will definitely be booking again in the future.

The space was phenomenal for our video shoot. Spacious, clean, quiet, and well equipped. The main studio was so big that we didn't even end up using the dressing room or waiting area but they were really nice. They did have a number of lights available which we did make use of though. Englon was an amazing host. Friendly, communicative, and super helpful. She made sure the white cyc was freshly painted for us and when we needed to extend our day by 2 hours she accommodated no problem. I highly recommend this studio and plan to use it anytime I need a shoot space in the future.

This is the spot, I had such a great time creating here. I will be booking again definitely ! Peace & love

Studio was great. Great communication and Englon was super nice and accommodating. I would definitely rent here again. Thanks for a fabulous experience!!
