About the Space
Hi, I'm Ivan Rakov, a filmmaker and creative entrepreneur. This is my personal space — Ivan Rakov Studio — fully restored and ready for creative projects. We host photoshoots, video productions, podcasts, and content creation, offering a personal approach to every client and project. The studio is fully equipped, flexible, and designed to help creators bring their ideas to life. PHOTO AND VIDEO PRODUCTION The studio is fully equipped for both photo and video projects. A white cyclorama wall provides a clean, seamless background ideal for interviews, commercials, and creative productions. A backdrop system with multiple color options is also available. We will install your preferred backdrop color free of charge. If the backdrop remains off the floor, its use is complimentary; if it's pulled onto the floor and stepped on, a backdrop replacement fee may apply. The space also includes a loft-style corner with furniture and textured walls, perfect for lifestyle, portrait, or editorial shoots. A wide range of professional lighting options is available to achieve any visual style — from soft natural looks to cinematic setups. A Pre-Lit Cyclorama Wall option is also available, ensuring the cyc wall is fully lit and ready for immediate use upon your arrival. This setup provides consistent, professional lighting for both photo and video productions.

The best studio experience I have ever had. The space is super convenient for all the things - we did a fitting there and it had everything we need. Spacious, cozy and very comfortable in terms of logistics parking etc. Also, Ivan is an amazing cost who helped us a lot! It is priceless to have hosts like this! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this studio for everyone!!!

Loved this space! I also noticed I shot a podcast here years ago and it still looks immaculate

I have rented from Ivan a few times. He has always been responsive and helpful. The parking is convenient. Security is on site during the evenings. Move-in and out is convenient, with a freight elevator. The building is well maintained. His studio suite is excellent, one of the better studios that I have seen on this site. Private restroom, which is always clean. Excellent space for shooting, with multiple sets, blackout curtains or natural light, well stocked supply of professional quality equipment. Certainly everything I needed. Great host!

Thanks, exceptional experience with Ivan and his space.

This was by far the best studio booking my team and I have utilized. As soon as we walked in, everything was clean, organized, and ready for us to start filming. The Cyc wall with customizable lighting allowed us to shoot multiple videos, and the staged living room setting was a great feature. Having enough outlets and multiple AC units kept us cool during the LA heat wave. Ivan responded swiftly with anything that we needed so we felt greatly taken care of us. We highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to bring creative ideas to life, and we look forward to returning for future projects.
