Photo Studio with a Pool in Los Angeles.
At the studio Yukon 4, we’ve turned imagination into reality with our specially designed water pool. Imagine a 16 by 20 feet basin, where the water depth is just 1 to 2 inches – the perfect recipe for creating breathtaking water-walking effects.
Our water pool’s surface is elegantly black, providing the perfect canvas for your creative journey. As a photographer, you’re in complete control of your vision. Whether you’re creating an art shoot, fashion editorial, e-commerce, portrait, or family photoshoot – this warm water setup will perfectly fit your creative vision.
This studio is designed for large productions. The ceiling is 16 ft high. 1860 sq ft of creative space equipped with car access and a gated parking area to ensure the safety of your vehicle during the shoot. The studio has ample space for all your equipment and includes makeup and changing rooms for added convenience during your shoot. One of the additional standout features of this studio is the 6×6 ft Light Cube.

At FD Photo Studio we’re all about making your ideas shine. Just like how photographers use bright flashes or soft continuous lights to make their photos pop, our water pool adds an extra touch of magic. Picture your subject stepping onto the water’s surface – it’s like they’re walking on a shiny mirror. You can use bright flashes for a big impact, or gentle continuous lights for a softer feel – it’s all up to you!
But here’s a cool twist: why not go even further? Imagine your model on the water, with your chosen lights making them look fantastic, and behind them, a whole new world. We’re talking about using a video projector to show a backdrop that fits your idea. It could be stars in the sky, a cityscape, or even a make-believe place. We used a projection of a moon for this shoot. When you put it all together – the water, the lights, and the background – your photos turn into something really amazing. It’s like bringing your imagination to life!
Light Setup for the shoot with a water pool.
We’re not just stopping at water effects – we’re all about pushing the boundaries. Imagine this: adding an extra layer of brilliance to your shots with a mylar reflective film. Simply attach it to a c-stand with an arm on the side of the model, and when you shine a continuous light on it, watch the magic unfold. The film creates another level of water-like reflection, giving your photos that captivating depth you’ve been searching for. Try moving the film with your hand to achieve a dancing light effect.

But wait, there’s more! We’re turning up the excitement with color gels for your lights. Imagine bathing your scene in vibrant blues, deep reds, or enchanting greens. These gels add a splash of drama and mood that will make your photos truly stand out.
