A communal kitchen, bathrooms and roof deck with a view of downtown San Francisco are just steps away from the studio.
2. A Great Option for Videographers and Video Shoots
Our studio isn’t just for still photography—it’s also a favorite among videographers, content creators, and production teams. Here’s why it works so well for video projects:
Flexible Layout for Video Setups: Everything in the studio is on wheels, making it easy to reconfigure the space to suit your scene or camera angles. Whether you're filming interviews, social media content, or promotional videos, you’ll have plenty of room to work.
Natural Light or Blackout Options: Two large west-facing windows offer beautiful natural light, while blackout curtains allow for full lighting control—perfect for video shoots that need consistent exposure.
Client & Talent Ready Areas: Our space includes a client area with a loveseat, full length mirror, garment rack, and dedicated makeup table with a mirror. It’s a comfortable, functional spot for talent prep and breaks.
Video-Friendly Amenities: We offer a computer station with an external monitor and laptop stand—ideal for on-set review and tethered workflows during video shoots.
Optional Gear Rentals: Available rentals include seamless backdrops, grip equipment (clamps, stands, tape), and a small selection of furniture and props—so you can travel lighter and get right to work.
Central San Francisco Location: Located in the heart of SoMA, we’re minutes from Moscone Convention Center, SF MOMA, and major transit options like BART, MUNI and Caltrain. Our studio is ideal for teams creating video content tied to events and trade shows at Moscone Convention Center, or for corporate clients located downtown.
Not a Soundstage, But Video-Tested: While our studio isn’t fully soundproof, we’ve hosted many successful video shoots. With a little planning for ambient noise, it’s a great option for a wide range of productions.
3. A Great Option for Portraits, Fashion, Product and Pet Photography Shoots
Our San Francisco studio is fully equipped to handle all types of photo shoots, including portraits, fashion, product and pet photography. Here’s why our space works for photographers of all kinds:
Flexible Space Layout: The studio is designed to be versatile, giving you the option to customize the setup depending on the type of shoot you’re planning. Most furniture is on wheels, which makes configuring the space easy. We also offer two large windows, which can be used with sheer curtains for natural light shooting, or black out curtains when you want to focus on shooting with strobes.
Professional Lighting Equipment: In addition to our two natural light windows which face West, we rent professional strobes and modifiers that will ensure your shoot is well-lit and your images are sharp. Modifiers range from 24” to 70” in size and include umbrellas, soft boxes, octa boxes, strip boxes, and reflectors.
Seamless Paper, Props and Grip: To help make your shoot easier, we’re able to rent a small selection of props (various chairs and stools, apple boxes), seamless paper in a dozen fun colors, and grip (clamps, tape, stands).
Craft Services - On request, we’re also able to rent items such as coffee, tea, condiments, french press, dishware, glassware and table wear. Our studio is adjacent to a kitchenette complete with mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and small table.
Comfortable Client Area: Our studio has several cozy nooks where clients can relax, hang their outfits, check their outfit in a full length mirror, apply makeup, or review images. We want the experience to be seamless and enjoyable for both you and your clients.
Prime Location: Our studio is centrally located in the SoMA district of San Francisco, making it convenient for photographers and clients from all over the Bay Area. We’re just a short walk from Moscone, SF MOMA, Yerba Buena, Whole Foods and more. We’re also very easily reachable by MUNI, BART, car, or rideshare. Whether you’re bringing in local clients or out-of-towners, our location ensures easy access.
Renting our studio gives you the freedom and flexibility to work on your creative projects without the hassle of setting up a space or the expense and responsibility of owning your own studio. All you have to do is bring your crew and gear, and we’ll provide everything else you need for a successful shoot.
