About this space

Our original space, dubbed “Lumber Studio” is the perfect photography production space. We have 9 different colored paper backdrops for you to shoot with at no additional cost. We also have a record wall, murals and a white/brick industrial window with beautiful natural lighting.

The studio comes equipped with all your basic photo/video needs: lights, stands, tripods, chairs, a clothing rack, reflectors, clamps, tape, etc. The west-facing windows offer beautifully soft light throughout the day and warm/dramatic sunset lighting in the afternoon. The windows also have blackout curtains for custom lighting setups.

We have cameras, lenses, and premium gear available for rent. The hub we’ve built serves many purposes other than artistic production; it’s the perfect spot for small meetings, co-working, pop-up shops, etc.

There’s a room divider which can be used as a changing place. This studio has been featured on television, and in music videos and is ready for your next production.
