Our recently renovated 1914 era coffee roasting facility is now a unique, 3200 sq. ft. old school-style NYC photo studio. Designed with the intent of providing nice amenities inside a gritty unfinished Brooklyn loft, our space makes the perfect location for high-end productions and events that want a down to Earth feel.
Studio 1, our main shoot space, hosts huge steel casement windows with opaque wire safety glass, rustic plank wood floors, rough brick and distressed plaster walls. Visitors often remark that it reminds them of old SoHo or Williamsburg before both areas became overly gentrified.

* Elevator that loads into studio directly from loading dock
