This is a cozy space with beautiful natural light, designed to look like a contemporary home and made to be comfortable particularly for boudoir sessions.

It also functions as a traditional photo studio, with a portable backdrop stand and many rolls of seamless; I've shot catalog shoots with multiple models.

I shoot youtube content here and have had nothing but good experiences. It’s private, it’s parking, and HUGE for the price. You can’t beat it.

The Production space was very spacious which allowed our crew to perform as needed. Although the environment around the production space is seen as unsafe, Alan was very responsible in terms of security and his team was responsive/helpful when we wanted to communicate.

This space is a perfect place to have a nice small get together. Eli is an awesome host he made sure I was take care of as well my guest who came to attend. I would definitely book this space again and tell all my friends about it. The price was very reasonable too. There was nothing I would do differently everything went well with no problems. Thank you Eli

This studio space had a lot more to offer than what we expected. In our case we were there for a video shoot and originally we just needed a space to set up a backdrop and shoot in front of. But once we toured the studio, we realized there were so many different ideas that we can come up with on the spot. It was the perfect place to improvise while also getting done what we originally had in mind. Would definitely recommend.

Great studio location with awesome looks outside! Location was a bit sketchy outside of the closed gate BUT, crew felt safe inside the gated location! Would forsure shoot here again!

The space was perfect and worked great! It looked exactly like the listing. Parking was an ease with meters right outside. Cheshire was very polite and professional.

Great space. Alan was nice and easy to work with. I was running a bit late, but he was super understanding. The space was the perfect size to use a car. Good lighting and quiet. Thanks Al!
