Does this studio capture golden hour in studio direct sunlight?
Hi Amanda, this studio is east-south facing, so direct light here is in the morning, capturing sunrise and generally before noontime. For the sunset direct lights check Studio D, Art 1,2,3,4, and Hill 1,3,4
Hi, are modifiers included w the strobes, If so what options?
Hi Angela, yes modifiers are included, we have a lot of options starting from 7-inch reflectors and regular umbrellas to beauty dishes, softboxes and large 7ft parabolic reflectors. Just check with the studio/location you'll be shooting at which modifiers you'll need for the shoot.
Can we bring very well trained dogs to the shoot? No mess will be left behind on.
Yes, we allow animals in the studio, just ask you to notify us about it and you'd need to sign a pet waiver.
Is there a changing room for our models?
Hi Marc, yes there is a changing corner with blackout curtains for your models to change.
Can I hook a swing to the ceiling?
Hello Laura, thank you for your question. Most certainly you can! We have 2 hooks installed in stage A that you can utilize for your creative session. Moreover, we have punching bag with gloves ($35/booking), Small hammock ($35/booking) and a wood swing ($35/booking) available for rent as well, upon your request.
Hi FD Team, what is the shortest I can book this studio for?
Hi Roger! The shortest rental period would be 1 hour of time If you decide to rent it for 4 or more hours, we have pretty sweet discounts. Please check our 4hr, 8hr, 12hr packages above. Thank you!
What is the size of the room and the ceiling height?
Hi Betsy, great question! The stage is 40ft x 18ft box making it a nice ~720sq feet of space. The ceiling height is 10 feet 3 inches.
What is the best time to shoot in this stage ?
Hi, Tyson! Thank you for your question. Windows in studio A face North and East, so the stage gets plenty of direct natural light in the morning hours, and gradually shifts toward softer, warmer ambience in the afternoon hours.
Is it possible to cover windows if I wanted to shoot with strobes only?
Hi Svjetlana! Thank you for reaching us out. Great question! Yes, studio A was recently equipped with curtains that can cover ALL windows across the perimeter, creating a nice and dim environment. Should be perfect for you, if you want to work with strobes only :)
