Lumber Studio
Both of our production spaces are inside the same building and come equipped with all the creative tools you need for a successful photo, video or audio production space in Chicago. Location near the highway, train, bus and divvy along with free parking ensure you’ll have no trouble finding us.
Our original space, dubbed “Lumber Studio” is the perfect photography production space. We have 9 different colored paper backdrops for you to shoot with. We also have a record wall, murals and a white / brick industrial window with beautiful natural lighting. The studio comes equipped with all your basic photo / video needs: lights, stands, tripods, chairs, clothing rack, reflectors, clamps, tape, etc. The west facing windows offer beautiful soft light throughout the day and warm / dramatic sunset lighting in the afternoon. The windows also have blackout curtains for custom lighting setups. We have cameras, lenses, and premium gear available for rent. The hub we’ve built serves many purposes other than artistic production; it’s the perfect spot for small meetings, co-working, pop-up shops, etc. There’s a room divider which can be used as a changing place. This studio has been featured on television, in music videos and is ready for your next production. On warm winter days, the building does not shut the heat off; we have AC that can be turned on and the windows open as well, but it doesn't hurt to dress in layers in the event you get hot. Please note we now require 72 hour notice to automatically reserve studio time. If you would like to inquire about an earlier time, please reach out via our contact page.
