About this space
This magical space is a natural light outdoor creative studio, perfect for photo and video shoots including editorial, fashion, portrait, headshot, commercial, and product. The wooden stage provides a unique rustic aesthetic that juxtaposes and emphasizes any subject.
The canvas backdrop is a textural, weathered off-white. If you'd like to bring your own backdrop, it can easily be swapped out.
The gallery above shows a variety of seasons and states of the space throughout the year. The chairs shown have been used by hundreds of guests and are damaged or gone. Please plan to bring your own, otherwise don’t expect the props or chairs to be in the best condition.
(Currently, the entire west coast is in its worst drought in 1200 years. Pasadena enforces strict drought water restrictions and they've only gotten more intense over the years. For this reason, the yard is not artificially watered and is allowed to evolve and fluctuate naturally. The listing photos show sparse ground cover and the ground's state shifts through its own seasonal states each year. During the year, the yard can either explode into a sea of green grass, dry foxtail, or completely dry dirt in the hottest seasons. No year is the same as our climate continues to change.)
(Unfortunately, the older short-plank stage, which you'll see in many of the photos, became too brittle with age. I've since then rebuilt it with warm stained Brazilian Pinewood as shown in the first few photos! This wood also ages day in day under our direct sun. It cracks, splits, and warps. Many huge clients book for this grunge aesthetic so please make sure this is something you like before booking).
