About the Space

Welcome to our studio! A 700 sq/ft. Hard loft photography and creators space located in toronto’s historic east end. Originally a knitting and textile factory in the early 1900s, this industrial-age gem has changed several times since the second world war to be home to a furniture company, a greeting card manufacturer, and a pant factory. However in 1997, it was converted into live-work artist studios. This brick + beam third floor walk-up has many unique features including 14’ ceilings, original hardwood floors, beautiful textured backgrounds, boho-vintage styling, and large industrial north-west facing windows making it ideal for that diffused warm golden-hour natural light. Every corner and wall is a curated mini set with carefully selected items for you to arrange and rearrange however you want. We're constantly updating so check back often for the current look and vibe. This location is ideal for fashion, editorial, and portrait photography, along with commercial film shoots. But more than just a vibing photography studio, it is also your versatile multipurpose space that can fulfill almost any creative need. Welcome brands, photographers, influencers, creators and light-seekers! Find your light.

Great experience shooting in the space. The industrial vibe of the space is a welcome change to many of the city's spaces.

Yes, I would book again.

This was the perfect space for our team to film our 1 minute trailer! The place was tidy when we arrived and Jack was very accommodating. When I had a question about locking up, he responded very promptly. We loved the variety of beautiful plants and décor to play around with in our shots. There was a mix of natural lighting, and areas for darker shots that looked great with our own lighting that we brought. It was a compact space, but we were able to shoot in separate areas to make it look like different spaces. Excellent experience, would definitely book again!

Great space. It is exactly how it looks in the photos and description. Very easy to get in and out of the building with lots of street parking nearby. It was perfect for holding auditions with plenty of furniture and lighting options. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.
