There's a large (15x10') roll-up door that lets in huge amounts of natural light. We also provide silks that clip to the door for even softer light. Early to mid-afternoon is the brightest time to shoot with natural light. In addition to silks, we provide v-flats, flags, reflectors, and scrims to control light.

During business days from morning until 5:00 pm there are industrial sounds from neighbors and cars in the parking lot. You cannot hear the street traffic inside. During the day, there are occasional metro trains and airplanes that you can hear. These are most frequent during rush hours in the evening.
