Frequently Asked Questions




Explore fun Chicago photo studio rentals

Sometimes working outdoors isn't possible. Perhaps the weather forecast calls for rain or you want a different feel for the images. Photo studio rentals offer backgrounds that immerse the subject in an entirely new setting without a single plane ticket. Many also come equipped with professional lighting, sound proofing, dressing rooms, extra cameras, and staff to operate them.
Photography studios are a great way for professionals to expand the range of services they offer. As well as beginner and intermediate photographers to practice new genres. Maybe you're a pro boudoir photographer with a client that's hoping for a look that demands different accessories, lighting, and furniture. Or you're an amateur looking to experiment with the genre. A Chicago photo studio rental is the perfect solution for a temporary space without sacrificing quality in the least.

Discover natural light photo studios in Chicago

Natural light photography is always popular because it imparts a very different feel to the final image compared to flash and controlled light. The tones imparted by Golden Hour sun or light diffused by clouds are some of the most romantic flavors a portrait can have. All it takes are some reflectors or curtains to completely change the feel of the final shot. Since working outdoors on a photo shoot can complicate matters, a natural light photo studio is the best solution to getting the same feel. Lofts and warehouse natural light studios often have massive factory windows to let in plenty of good quality light. The large windows mean high ceilings, which gives the venue a spacious, airy character. With the right props, decor, and light modifiers, you can create any sort of studio vibe.

Commercial photo studios in Chicago

Commercial photography, such as food photography, is challenging to do right because even more attention to lighting conditions is required. You have to capture everything in an ideal way; from choosing hero angles that show off an item's most favorable side to the gleam of chrome without it looking too powerful. Not to mention fine details and rich color without the result looking artificial…There's no substitute for working in a commercial photography studio.
Commercial subjects that are huge make this even more important; medical technology and automotive commercial photography have to be captured in lofts and warehouses that offer loading bays, lifts, specialized lighting, and other equipment. Fortunately, many Chicago commercial studios and professional photographers are more than up to the challenge.
