About the Space

Welcome to the Studio! It's a 900-square foot space in a historic artist building in Portola/Bayview neighborhood in San Francisco. Space is created with creatives in mind so almost everything is on wheels making it easy to configure the space to your needs. If you're a photographer used to tethering for your portrait/product sessions, there's a rolling stand with a 27" Asus UHD monitor with HDMI/USB C connections where you can connect your computer to and use the studio's Apple Magic keyboard and mouse. Background system has 9.7' black and white seamless paper. There's a 65" TV on a rolling stand that you can move to the tables to present to with an Apple TV for your meetings/creative sessions. A Sonos Beam soundbar is ready for you to play music for your shoots. Grip equipment is included in the rental fee (several c-stands, boom arm, 4 25lb sandbags, 2 full apple boxes, 2 V-flats [black & white]). In addition, an Aputure 120D II with a Light Dome II softbox & fresnel lens is readily available for you to use with the rental fee. Studio can be your turnkey solution if you're looking for additional lights and accessories for your next photo and/or video shoot so please inquire prior to your shoot on what you're planning on creating in the studio and what we're able to rent to make it happen (full Westcott Flex LED lighting kits and Godox AD200 + modifiers available for rent).

Parking options

Free onsite parking, Free street parking

Parking description

Includes one gated parking space with plenty of free street parking nearby.

Space has natural light

Natural light can be blocked out

Lighting description

There are no blackout curtains but there are couple of 5' black reflectors that can be used to block the windows. The windows are facing west but because they're ground level windows, light is only strongest at around 4pm-6pm. If you're a flash photographer, you'll be fine but if you're a natural light photographer, you'll still want to supplement your setup with some lights.

Ambient noise description

There is an industrial shop next door so some noise is present during business hours. The studio would not be great for any long form/interview content since external noises cannot be controlled.
