About this space

Welcome to our beautiful daylight studio!

We just moved to our NEW location!!
We offer a 40-foot long set of window on the ground floor of a beautiful building in East Williamsburg.

Beautiful sunlight bathes the space whether it's cloudy or sunny.

We are perfect for mode castings and digitals, headshots, product photography, fashion shoots, portrait shoots, video shoots, commercials, short and feature films and birthday shoots, among others. Daylight or artificial light.

We have 20 colors of 9 foot seamless available through our beautifully displayed seamless wall; each pull is $20. Set-up is $10 and must be included via the add-ons to be done before your shoot.
We do not do setups at the last second; we do not purchase or retrieve additional colors on the day of a shoot either. If you are interested in a specific color, let us know in advance.

MATKA was founded in 2018 in a DIY loft space in Bushwick. We started with hosting our friends and small clients for shoots and film nights.

The MATKA team envisioned an inclusive space that welcomed all skill levels of photographers and artists. We have grown into three spaces, each with an assortment of beautiful plants and trees.

MATKA has hosted a diverse range of clients and events, from ad campaigns to branded content to music videos to meditation sessions to bridal showers and proposals to trade for portfolio shoots.

Clients include Vogue India, Sol de Janeiro, Etsy, Out Magazine, CBS News, Rifle Paper Company, Tushy, Dagne Dover, Makari, Otis, Teen Vogue, VitaCoco, MisterWives, Ariana Bohling, Crabtree & Evelyn, among others.

Our staff of assistants can bring you from the lobby into our studio and help you get started, or we can do a contactless check-in.
