About the Space

Perfect place to book your next photoshoot! The Saddle is one of the most unique raw industrial spaces in Chicago. The space is light-filled with clerestory windows across the entire west-facing wall, 17' high ceilings, exposed brick and 2 skylights. The building is an old industrial building that has been renovated into a music rehearsal space. Our studio is located on the second floor and tucked away from most of the other rooms. The space used to be occupied by a local painter for 8 years. We've now taken it over as a multidisciplinary art, photography & recording studio, as well as an event space.

Yes, I would book again.

The hosts were super nice and hospitable! Space was exactly as described and pictured. They were super lenient if we wanted to move or add furniture. We were able to capture everything we were looking for at this space. Definitely recommended!
