We are taking things seriously when it comes to sanitary precautions in the space. The studio is NOT a living space, and is cleaned and disinfected before and after every client. Face masks are required for all building guests. Wash your hands upon arriving and before leaving. Max 6 person capacity in space. Pleaseeee leave ON TIME so cleaner can do their job. I appreciate communication via call if things don't go as planned day of as I'll always try to accomodate you as best as I can.

STUDIO is best suited for...
~Photography/Videography - Environmental, lifestyle and editorial photography and content curation
~Workshops
~Client meetings
~Small private business events, no personal parties (Max 30 people), full day bookings only, 9-5. I will be selective about what kinds of events are allowed, please inquire. Elopements are definitely welcome!

Furniture aside, you can utilize the white walls as a backdrop for a more simple set up. Furniture is destined to change position based on time of month as the space is transformative. Please inquire if you have any furniture layout requests, otherwise, you can expect a living room and dining room with the furniture featured, just perhaps in a different set up than featured.

*WARNING* I mean, consider this your warning, the space runs HOT. It's a century old factory building, it's heated by radiator which is controlled by landlord and on blast ALL day during cool months, also the unit faces the sun with no circulation in the summer, so it gets hot and I do my best but it's part of the buildings charm and out of my control so please, be warned and wear appropriate clothing and take my precautions below. You don't need to complain to me about it, I'm fully aware and have tried everything that I can afford ;).

*Winter Months* It's hot.
Unit is heated by radiator pipes and they are HOT!!! Please be careful and don't touch, lean things against, the pipes! If things get too hot, you can use the fans or open window, unfortunately there's no thermostat.

*Summer Months* It's hotter.
Because it is an old building and it faces south, it gets very hot from about noon - 3pm. The window opens, there is a small working window AC, and a dyson cool fan, but it's still quite hot despite. Just something to be aware of. Other times of the day it is still warm, but less so as sun is not directly shining in and there's less green house effect.

Photography ACCESSORIES include:
Clothing rack
Steamer
Backdrop Stand
Fabric backdrops (black, white, beige)
Paper rolls (Fawn + Dove Grey)

LIGHTING:
Does not include any lighting gear. Lighting is best from shortly after sunrise to a couple hours before sunset. In winter months I only shoot before 3pm for natural light. South facing windows will get direct light at floor level during the day. You can expect rainy days to be dim lighting in the unit as the only light for the studio is via the one window, so if it's dim outside, it's dim inside, please plan accordingly if you require your own lighting to accommodate for the weather condition.

My personal fav lens for this space (as a natural light photographer) is a 35mm 1.4, and a 25-70mm. 50mm would work strictly for portrait. Space is 13ft wide and 45 ft deep.
