Today I bring you some tips when renting a photo studio. What to keep in mind and more. Let's get to the point: The most important thing is to know what to look for and how to plan. Of course, always using SpacePal, where you will see thousands of studios available in just one click.
1. Define your needs
Before you start, be clear about what type of production you are going to do: fashion, products, portraits, etc. This will help you determine the characteristics of the studio you need. Make a list of the equipment and the number of people who will be present and check if the space has those characteristics.
For example, in this studio in Almagro, 15 people can fit and it has a cyclorama.
2. Location and accessibility
Choose a studio that is accessible for everyone involved. Proximity to public transport and ease of parking can save you from several headaches. On SpacePal, you can see the approximate location of the spaces, and once the reservation is confirmed and paid, we will send you the exact location.
Like Ruido El Estudio, which is in Palermo Hollywood, very close to Av Juan B Justo full of public transport.
3. Size and configuration
The size of the studio must be suitable for your session and the number of people. On SpacePal, each listing details how many people can comfortably work in the space and the additional areas available, such as dressing rooms and makeup zones.
4. Lighting and style
Lighting is crucial. Some studios have natural light, while others have artificial lights to complement. Make sure the style of the studio and the lighting are suitable for your session. Personally, I believe there is nothing cooler than natural light.
5. Time planning
Plan well the amount of time you will need the studio. Consider not only the time of the session but also the setup and breakdown of the equipment. On SpacePal, you can rent by the hour or by the day, giving you flexibility to adjust, but be aware that some studios have a minimum number of hours.
6. Price and equipment
Check the rates and compare them with your budget. On SpacePal, listings include all the details about the cost per hour or per day and whether the studio offers equipment such as cameras, lights, and backdrops, or if you need to bring your own.
7. Reviews and references
Read reviews from other users to get a clear idea of what to expect. The experiences of others will help you make an informed decision. SpacePal makes this easy by including reviews and ratings in each listing. Here’s how the comments look:
Conclusion
