Originally built for a cobbler in the 1900’s,until it transitioned into a zinc foundry for over 50 years, and now, we’ve turned it into a sweet production space!! We underwent a major renovation, bringing this little slice of history into a modern open concept photo-studio while maintaining it’s original industrial vibe. This creative, urban space is just waiting for your next photography shoot or film production.
