The entire space is just over 2,300 square feet, and is broken up into an open studio space, a product photography studio, and a private photography studio perfect for boudoir photos. There is also a full kitchen, laundry room, 3 restrooms, and a dressing room.
When you book the space, you book the whole space, so you won’t have to worry about privacy or sharing the studio with any other members.
