Your studio, your vision, fully equipped
Finding studio space in Detroit with editorial-grade gear should not require renting equipment from three different vendors. Our studio gives you everything in one place: pro cameras, a full prime-lens kit, Matthews grip and lighting, tethering, and hand-painted backdrops, at a single transparent rate.
No gear rental upcharges. No hidden fees. Just $299/hour, all-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gear is included?
Everything you need to shoot. That means: professional camera bodies, a full prime-lens kit, Matthews lighting (strobes, continuous, softboxes, C-stands, flags, scrims, modifiers), tethering equipment with a monitor for live client review, and hand-painted plus seamless backdrops. There are no add-on fees. The $299/hour rate covers it all.
Do I need to bring my own camera?
No. Cameras and lenses are included in the rental. If you have a camera or lens you prefer to use, you're welcome to bring it—but the studio rental gives you full access to our professional kit by default.
How do I book the studio?
