There's a lot about this business I really, really liked! First off, not having to go downtown is such a great thing. To be clear, however, you're not going to get any natural light at all here like you do in the big, old building downtown with the huge banks of tremendous windows. If you want that kind of shoot, this isn't that. Also, I found the strobe units to be usable, but not fully professional. For instance, they didn't fire reliably all the time, and I think they are prone to overheating when used with a pro-model with whom a good photographer can get a frame every second to second and a half for twenty or thirty frames. That was annoying, and I lost about 25 frames or so out of about 700 to misfires. You also can't make any adjustments to settings remotely from the controller unit, which is pretty inconvenient when using a multi-light setup. That said, the place is clean, neat and well organized. The light stands and wide selections of excellent modifiers (including a really big one for a soft, flat lighting base), were appropriate to the space and in good repair. There's tons of colors of seamless options (though no cyc) and there were enough power cables and AC points to reach wherever I needed. There's a fan. There's a really great, big private dressing room, WiFi and the ability to connect and play your own music through a pretty nice system. They have a good selection of stools and full and half apple boxes. There's ample air conditioning (it was 100 degrees outside the day of my shoot) and we were comfortable in the studio - an absolute must to avoid sweaty models. Communication with the owner went well and the price is appropriate to the offering. All in all, this is the perfect place for the right type of job. There are times you need pro level strobes that recycle in milliseconds, but if you don't (family shoot, amateur models for engagements, business headshots), this place is a perfect ten. read more

Great studio space for photography at amazingly low prices! All of the lighting gear you need with a wide variety of backdrops (paper, cloth, brick etc). Love that there are three rolling light stands for ease of moving but also additional c stands if needed. You really only need to bring your camera! Rafael, the owner is super nice and helpful! Really great guy! Studio Rental includes Makeup/changing room with two chairs, garment rack, garment steamer, internet/computer, mini fridge, microwave, green room & reception, restroom. Only one client rents the space at a time so you get the whole place to yourself/crew. Definitely recommend! read more

We truly enjoyed the renovated Noho Photo Studio, it was neat and well-organized. It was our first time shooting in North Hollywood, our team found very convenient avoiding Downtown traffic from most LA studios and appreciated the easy access from the near-by free parking. We will be definitely back soon, as the prices are very reasonable. read more

Noho Photo Studio Rentals - Art Space Rentals Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Amazing experience from beginning to end. Their website has a calendar showing the availability of the studio. The studio itself is well equipped for any kind of shoot you are doing. Tons of professional lighting, backdrops, chairs, stools, speakers wired throughout so you can play music if you like. The owner is kind and professional. We hired him to shoot for us as well and the images were stunning. All-in-all a no brainer if you need a photo studio and/or if you need professional shots. read more

Noho Photo Studio Rentals - Models shot by Raphael the studio owner - Art Space Rentals Near Me - Los Angeles, California

While I have been to other studio rentals with a group, this was my first time renting one on my own. The owner, Rafael, was kind enough to allow me to visit the studio first to feel it first hand and get a tour. He was very accommodating and we chatted for about half an hour, making me feel very comfortable since I was nervous about my first rental. His associate, Lloyd, was on hand on my rental day and made sure what I needed was set up and ready to go, allowing me to focus on the client. The owner was actually on a shooting gig the day I rented but promptly responded to my questions texted to him. The space offers Both a makeup room, dressing room and a bathroom which means they all can double for changing rooms should you have multiple models. There are two main shooting areas, one white, the other with a brick wall as a backdrop (with paper pull downs as well) along with a lounge that can double as a third stage since it has a corrugated metal door that makes for a great urban backdrop in a pinch. The long architecture of the building allows for one of the stages to be shot from quite a distance, allowing for longer than usual focal lengths to be used. Plenty of outlets read more

I hope this reviews helps others like me. When I moved here from San Francisco, I had no idea where to turn for a studio. I really wanted a place that was equipped so I didn't have to lug me gear back and forth. I found some nice studios out there, but they didn't quite offer what NOHO did. They have all the lighting you need along with triggers, tape and all the little necessities. I was also looking for a dedicated makeup room to make my clients feel pampered when they arrived. The place has A/C which is important along with music and WiFi...all important details that I was looking for. I met with Raphael to tour it and he couldn't be nicer, so all all this combined with the very affordable hourly rate made the decision to make this "my" studio was a no-brainer. I plan to use this space until I can one day afford my own space Leona read more

Today was my first time shooting here. I have been renting studios all over town. what i loved about this place is it's in the Valley. Many studios are in DT LA and a pain in the butt to get to with traffic etc, then find parking, if you have gear good luck with carrying all that to the studio and back. You have non of that issue here. all the lifting included. ground floor. literally 3 sec walk from your car. Lloyd was very helpful. Met the owner too a while back. great guy. strongly recommend. Great location, great service, great equipment, nice and clean. One word, Perfect! Thank you guys. i will be back. TJ Manou read more

This was the most pleasant experience I've had at a photography studio. I had a big project for a major client and had trouble setting up the lightening but the owner Raphael made sure I wasn't left in the dark. He set the prop up plus the lightening and even gave me tips on how to success shoot the product. My client was ecstatic about the photos but I was mainly happy about finding a new studio home and friend. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED utilizing this studio! The prices are reasonable and the service is phenomenal. read more

I liked this studio. Their hourly rate is really cheap. They do not offer much of background (mostly just plain color background plus a brick wall, some interior), but it's all of a good quality, including equipment.
