Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
-
This public space is intended for those who do not have access to commercial studio spaces, especially beginners, hobbyists, and early independent professionals. A good rule of thumb is that if you are charging someone else for your services in the space (i.e. for your work as a photographer), your project is not a good fit for the Studio Lab.
-
While we’re not interested in governing the content of your project, the Lab is still considered a public space. We ask that you do not include any powders, aerosols, glitter or realistic weapons in your props and that you remain clothed for the duration of your appointment.
-
Absolutely! Make sure each is aware of the guidelines for using the space.
-
Water in a spillproof container is all right, but we ask that customers not bring food or beverages into this space.
