Phoenix Photo & Film Studio.

Studio is located on the third floor of 130 N. Central Ave., in the heart of Downtown Phoenix. One and a half blocks north of City Scape, and two blocks west of the Phoenix Convention Center.

Parking is off site, but nearby at one of the many parking garages in the area. Our recommendation is to use the unmarked parking garage in the 101 North tower, located between The Taco Spot and Noble Ground Coffee at 20 W Adams St. Phoenix, 85003.

Bringing gear? No problem…there is an alley next to the studio building for loading and unloading.

12 people MAX allowed at one time.

*Rental time includes load-in and cleanup time. Book enough time for both. Need extra time? As long as no one is booked directly after you, you can purchase additional time for shooting and clean up.

NO GLITTER OR PAINT Minimum $100 fee charged if used. This INCLUDES dresses covered in glitter!

*LargeConfetti is allowed, but must be cleaned up completely to avoid being charged a cleaning fee of $100.

No Real Firearms used as props, regardless of whether the chamber is believed to empty.

KEEP NOISE AND MUSIC TO A MINIMUM to not disturb other tenants on the floor or in the offices below. Any guests activities resulting in a noise complaint will be blocked from booking in the future..

*There are two security cameras in the main studio area. DO NOT unplug the cameras. If the cameras are unplugged or disabled there will be an additional fee of $100 / hr. booked, minimum.

The cameras are only monitored if there is a question about overtime charges, missing items, studio damage or other rule violations.

There are no cameras in the dressing room or restrooms.

*Pick up furniture to move it. Please do not drag furniture across the floor.

*Put all furniture and props back where you found them and leave the studio ready for the next guest.

*There are cleaning supplies in the kitchen for cleaning surfaces and the mirror.

*Small, trained animals may be allowed, but must be cleared by me first. This includes emotional support animals. Any messes or damage caused by animals will incur a cleaning fee of $100 and/or the cost of replacement for damaged items.

STROBES:

Currently, I have three Paul Buff Digibee strobes with different modifiers, including:

• Two 5’ umbrellas

• One 7’ shoot-through umbrella

• One Beauty dish

• One 5’ Octabox

• One 48”x18” strip box

Continuous Light:

I have one Aperture Storm 300d II with one 36” lantern, and two soft boxes. Technically video lights, they also works beautifully as a portrait light and also works as a nice fill for those not wanting to, or knowing how to, use the strobes.

• Seamless paper backdrop is free to use, however, full-sweeps (meaning your client is stepping onto or standing on the paper) are an additional $20 charge per reservation.

• “Green Room” $25 per reservation.

  This private room includes a comfortable, private place for getting ready and wardrobe changes. Complete with clothing racks, steamer, makeup mirror, full-length mirror, large chair, and additional shooting space with white brick and 2 north facing windows.

• Replica Surfaces System $25 per reservation.

  This system comes with multiple backgrounds ideal for product photography.

• Photo or Video Assist starting at $50 / hr.

  Do you have a production that you need extra hands and eyes, a grip, or runner? Contact us for our list of qualified professionals.

YES! Though we offer studio flash (strobes), many photographers who use the studio are strictly natural light photographers.

The main windows face east, with the block glass windows facing north.

There is direct light in the mornings year round, and direct light again in the afternoon during the spring, summer and early fall, as the afternoon sun bounces off the Hilton across the street.

I often get asked “when is the ‘BEST’ light?” I can’t really answer that, because everyone has their own definition of what “the best” light is depending on their own shooing style…

However, when I shoot natural light in the studio, I can easily shoot until about 2 hours before sunset.

There are V-Flats available for bouncing light. Not familiar with how to use V-Flats? Look it up on YouTube…they are a Natural Light Photographer’s studio “must have” for controlling and bouncing light!

And, we offer the use of our Aputure continuous light at no additional charge! (I know, we’re awesome) No need to know anything about studio lighting to use this bad boy.

No! Your studio reservation time slot belongs to you alone.

You have use of the entire space, plus the wardrobe + makeup room if added to your reservation, during your booked time.

We do!

Whether you are looking to host a small, intimate event like a baby shower, an all day mastermind, Yoga classes or meetings with catering, we can help you with that.
