Miles was very accommodating and responsive — he allowed us to view the space beforehand and was incredibly welcoming to our cast and crew. We could not have asked for a better experience and location for our shoot. Highly recommend!

4 important points to mention. 1. This is right by a train track and any video or audio recording in the space will definitely be interrupted by the loud noise of the train. 2. From 1 to 3pm it was very hot in the room even with the air conditioning on. 3. Some of the curtain rods were broken and taped up so that it is not possible to cover the windows. This caused problems with slots of string sunlight limiting the space we had to record video. 4. There is a rule that you cannot move the couch or you will be charged. I don't understand why but it limited the options and space that we had to record video. Besides these 4 issues listed it was a great place to work and record video. The curtains not being able to cover or block out the windows was by far the biggest issue that caused problems we had to spend significant time working around.

This studio is amazing for model photography with many creative areas. It is conveniently located. Hector S. was a fantastic host and gave us a tour of the studio and explained where everything was located. We look forward to renting his studio again soon.
