4. Turn up the twinkle lights in a Toronto garden studio

Twinkle lights are an excellent way to add a touch of magic to any photoshoot. String some above your head for an ethereal touch at your home, or head to a venue that incorporates gorgeous lighting in the set. This miniature oasis in Toronto, ON incorporates beautiful lights into the lush hedge backdrops. Imagine how much you’d glow while lounging in that swinging chair, surrounded by gorgeous shimmering lights. The studio also provides an alcove with graffiti walls, a velvet chair, a retro TV, and a neon sign, for two distinct shooting spaces for the price of one.

I was shown the other studios and will definitely keep them in mind for my next shoot now that I have seen them in person!” Make this secret oasis yours with Peerspace. 

5. Keep it raw and urban in a modern industrial space

Repurposed industrial buildings have a unique aesthetic quality that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. You don’t have to become an urban explorer to shoot pics in an abandoned site, either. You can rent these types of buildings on Peerspace for your 25th birthday photoshoot, like this downtown modern industrial space in Louisville, KY.

While the building itself is a relic of Louisville’s industrial past, the host has made a beautiful wellness haven of the venue. You’ll look like a phoenix rising from the ashes as you shoot photos beneath the arched doorways and in front of the rustic brickwork.
