Not at all. Our service charges are $50 per hour, plus $15 per backdrop pull ($25 for Muslin backdrop). If you aren’t pulling the backdrop to the floor, there is no charge for it. All the equipment is included in the price with no hidden fees for using anything that the space offers.

The booking time must include the setup and the breakdown of the set. Please calculate the time of your stay accordingly.

The space is guaranteed to have the following selection of backdrops at all times: white, gray, nude, almond, pink, blue, green, yellow, black. If you’d like to request a backdrop color that isn’t in stock, reach out to us at least two days prior to your visit to request that. There will be a $40 special request charge associated with that + the $10 per pull.

Three backdrops are mounted on the rack at all times, the rest are stocked in the space, ready for use. However, the client is responsible for mounting the desired color (if it’s not already in place). If you’d like to request a certain color to be mounted prior to your booking, please reach out to us. There is an up-charge for such request and the amount depends on the number of backdrops you’d like us to mount: $20 for one, $30 for two, $40 for three, $30 for a muslin backdrop.

Free street parking is available in the neighborhood. Please arrive early to make sure you have some extra time to look for it.

We also reserve the right to deny future services to clients who fail to demonstrate the ability to comply with studio rules.
