This is a large, open space with great ceiling height. A fair amount of gear is available and lots of room to bring your own. One of the few studios with broncolor gear available to rent. The best of the best use the best - do yourself a favour and rent the broncolors. Nice natural light from all the big windows if you want it. Amazing workstation area for hair and make-up. Easy to access from the DVP/Gardiner/Lakeshore and transit stops right out front. I've been really happy each time I've used this studio. Highly recommended.

Studio311 is honestly my favourite studio in Canada, love shooting there due to the amount of space you have to work with. It comes with a beautiful makeup set up which my team loves and a kitchenette which allows for crafts services. Shooting strobe and natural light is great in this studio as it lends to both lighting styles. Highly recommended
