Studio Rules & Rental Argeements

Hey guys, can I bring a dog to the shoot? Is it extra? Thank you
Hi Maria! You are more than welcome to bring your dog, and we have absolutely no additional charges for it. All you need to do is fill out a pet waiver that we will kindly provide before the booking. All exotic animals have to be supervised by a professional trainer.
Hey FD team. Is smoking allowed on the rooftop? Thank you.
Hello Kevin, thank you for your question. We do not allow smoking/alcohol anywhere on our premises, as a part of our client safety and satisfaction program. Thank you!
Do you have packages for the rooftop as well? I would like to purchase 8 hour package, if possible.
Hello Jose, good question! The LA Rooftop stage has only one simple price - $49.99/hr, regardless of the amount of booking time needed. We currently do not provide any packages for this studio.
Hi FD team, happy to shoot soon at your stage! Is there any place I can change if I rent rooftop stage? Thanks a lot!
Hi Foto Superior, we are excited to have you at our studio! The rooftop itself does not have any changing rooms/sections installed. However, you can use our bathroom located in the hallway of the 5th floor to change/prepare. Please note, if a big crew preparations are involved, it is alway a good idea to rent a separate stage (any of our Art 1,2,3 or 4 stages) for that.
Hello FD, what is the earliest time I can book the rooftop stage at? Thank you.
Hi Kelsey, You can book the studio as early as 8am on Monday - Saturday. Please note that the LA rooftop is closed on Sundays. Thank you!
