Things to know

• Refund policy: In paying this studio reservation fee, the time is blocked out exclusively for you. This means that I can’t book the studio out to other photographers for the same period. Hence, this fee is not refundable.
• Setup and wrap time count as studio time, and will be billed accordingly.
• Additional time is per half hour, at $30 per half hour, even if you don’t use the full 30 minutes.
• Additional fees for the use of glitter: $50 if you clean it up, or $100 if I clean it up.
• All lighting gear and backgrounds are included in the rental fee. Just bring your camera and lenses. If you shoot tethered, bring your laptop.
• There are additional studio gear that can be rented:  microphones & audio recorder; teleprompter; green screen setup.

Important: Guidelines

• Do not remove any of the lights from the boom arms!
• Please do not change out the light modifiers that are mounted on the boom arms!
  The one exception is the 3-ft gridded octabox which can be swapped out for the beauty dish.
• Please do not remove the grids from the reflectors or the stripboxes. There are enough other light modifiers without grids.
• If you are new to working in a studio, here are my tips for your first time in the studio.
• Either myself or an assistant will be present at all times, and can help with with the basic setting up of lighting gear and the use of the studio space. (I’ll be quietly working on my computer, unless you need help.)
