Established in the mid-1980s—back when 21st Street was still cobblestone and photographers shot exclusively on film— our Photo Studio has a unique character unmatched by contemporary spaces. Located on the top floor of a classic pre-war loft building, with south and west exposures the studio is warm, welcoming, and fully professional.

It's an ideal space for still, fashion, portrait and corporate photography, offering versatility and style, but also great as a still life space, and large enough for a robust ecomm or catalog production. The abundant daylight is a great asset for video shoots as well.

Corporate meetings with breakout areas work as well in this space.

Features: an L-shaped studio layout with two shooting zones: a bright daylight area and a larger 11'x11' set wall with a matching floor, 2000 Sq ft in shooting space and 10 1/2 feet high ceilings. Natural light throughout, with blackout shades available. There are comfortable sitting and dining areas for clients and crew. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a SONOS music system. Adjacent to the shooting area is a separate spacious hair&make up/changing/prep/staging area which includes a mobile hair&make-up station. Both passenger and freight elevators (note: freight elevator is unavailable on weekends). A floor plan is included with the images for your planning convenience.
