We rent days, evenings, and weekends by the hour or by the day.

We're located 6 miles west of the Asheville Regional Airport in Mills River, NC.

We have 2400 sq ft, plenty of room for good separation of the subject from the background and to allow light to drop off fully for great low-key lighting.

We can accomodate multiple sets so you can freely switch between them.

Our Photographic Studio Equipment

The facility is wheel-chair accessible and has a 12x14 foot bay door to allow access for large vehicles or unloading equipment.

We use the photographic studio for our Commercial photography and Portrait work, so it is well maintained. Photographers who have rented our studio, have appreciated our assistance understanding the equipment, as well as assistance during their photo shoot if requested.

We utilize PocketWizards on the cameras and in the Sekonic light meter for remote triggering of lights up to 300' away. This eliminates a major tripping hazard and reduces the clutter in the studio.

We are employing Alien Bee studio strobes, which is cost effective, durable, and provides a consistent and predictable quality of light. We have a range of strobe intensities:

• Two 400 heads
• Five 800 heads
• Two 1600 heads

We have two 600 watt 5500K fluorescent Alzo Digital video lights.

We have an array of modifiers (barn doors, snoots, booms, filter housings, honeycomb grids), umbrellas, beauty dishes, strip lights, and softboxes. We've built 8' white portable reflector walls and have different size and shape reflective panels.

With our Nikon D3 and D700 cameras, we have a wireless connection automatically transmitting images to our server as we shoot. Although the camera back has a large display, there is a tremendous advantage with the ability to have the photographer, art director, or client review the images as on a large color calibrated monitor throughout the shoot. At the end of the shoot, we take 5 minutes to burn a DVD of all the images and hand it to the photographer. As a backup, the images remain on the studio computer until the photographer confirms that the DVD worked for them and they have their own backup.

So what does it cost?

We rent the studio space, lighting equipment, props, backdrops, and facilities for $50/hour with a 2 hour minimum. We do offer volume discounts for all day and multiple day shoots, as well as repeat customers.

Use of the facilities and equipment, as well as expert advice and assistance... it's a fantastic value!
