Nine19 Photography Studio is a bold, jewel-toned 609 sq ft studio on the 9th floor in the heart of Downtown Raleigh, designed by a working photographer with 13+ years behind the lens. High ceilings, two elevators for easy load-in, and professional lighting gear included with every booking mean you can walk in and start shooting.
Featuring a striking statement wall, covered in lush tiger-and-peony wallpaper and anchored by a real hand-blown "Fierce" neon sign. It's styled with an emerald velvet tufted sofa, tiger and gold velvet pillows, a sculptural MCM white coffee table, and a vintage-style tiger rug. Tall windows with floor-length blackout curtains let you shoot in natural light with city views, or close them for full control.
Turn around and the mood changes completely. Deep peacock blue color drenched walls, warm maple hardwood floors, and recessed lighting create a rich, minimalist backdrop for portraits, fashion, and editorial work. A wall-mounted three-roll backdrop system gives you instant seamless options. Large tropical plants and woven lounge chairs draped in faux tiger fur add styling pieces you can move around the set.
Your rental includes C-stands, light stands, soft boxes and strip boxes, studio lights, and a selection of colored seamless paper. A dedicated vanity station with a mirror and a plush chair keeps hair and makeup on-site, and a private restroom and Wi-Fi keep long shoot days comfortable.
This is a women-owned studio known for helping people feel confident on camera. It's especially welcoming for boudoir, portrait, and self-love-centered shoots, and just as ready for brand content, product launches, and small creative gatherings. Beyond shoots, the studio works well for small workshops, classes, and creative meetups. It seats up to 20 guests for workshops and meet ups, or comfortably fits a production crew of about 15 with room for lighting and gear. The lounge area, natural light, and one-of-a-kind setting make it a memorable spot for photography classes, styling and makeup workshops, wellness and self-love sessions, and brand events.
Great for: photo shoots, boudoir and portrait sessions, brand and social content, fashion and lingerie editorials, music video and film scenes, headshots, podcast or interview sets, workshops, and intimate meetups.
Parking and access: Street parking downtown and several nearby parking decks. The studio is on the 9th floor, served by two elevators.
