01. The Cyc Infinity
Size: 1500 sq. ft. | Cyc Wall: 30'W x 25'L x 18'H | Capacity: 20 people
The undisputed heart of our facility, The Cyc Infinity is an immense, purpose-built space designed for projects that demand a flawless, seamless background. The two-wall hard cyclorama is coated in Rosco TV White paint for perfect luminance and minimal reflection, making post-production a breeze. It features a pre-rigged, DMX-controlled lighting grid with four diffused space lights, providing a beautifully even base exposure right from the start. A 20-foot ceiling height and a large elephant door for vehicle or large prop access make this the most versatile and capable studio for high-end fashion campaigns, e-commerce, large group portraits, and music videos. The dedicated green room and client viewing area ensure comfort during long production days.

02. The Daylight Loft
Size: 1200 sq. ft. | Windows: 15'H South-Facing | Capacity: 12 people
A sanctuary for photographers who worship natural light. The Daylight Loft is defined by its wall of magnificent 15-foot tall, south-facing windows that flood the space with soft, consistent, and beautiful light from sunrise to sunset. The original, beautifully worn hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and a curated collection of minimalist furniture provide authentic character and texture for lifestyle shoots, intimate portraits, and food photography. While natural light is its main feature, the loft is also equipped with a full set of automated blackout blinds, allowing you to switch to a fully controlled strobe setup in seconds. This duality makes it an incredibly flexible space, offering the best of both worlds. A full kitchenette is also included, making it ideal for food styling projects.

This 1000 sq. ft. studio is engineered for zero light contamination, with sound-proofed walls painted in a neutral 18% grey to prevent color cast and unwanted reflections. It is the perfect sterile environment for crafting dramatic, low-key portraits, intricate product photography, special effects, and any project where every single photon counts. The space includes a robust overhead grid for complex lighting rigs and an ample supply of power outlets. When you need to build your visual world from complete darkness, this is your canvas.

The Chroma Canvas Advantage
Renting a studio is more than just securing four walls and a roof. It's about the experience, the support, and the details that enable creativity. Here’s what sets us apart.
Unparalleled Support
Every booking is supported by an on-site studio manager who is also a trained photo assistant. They aren't just there to open the door; they're there to help you set up C-stands, swap modifiers, troubleshoot triggers, and ensure your day runs smoothly. This level of included, knowledgeable support is a game-changer, allowing you to focus on directing and shooting, not on technical logistics. It's like having an extra pair of expert hands on set, free of charge.
Prime, Accessible Location
Located in the heart of the city's creative district, our studio is easily accessible via public transport and has ample on-site parking—a rarity for a downtown facility. A ground-floor loading bay with direct access to our largest studio eliminates the struggle of hauling heavy equipment up flights of stairs or through tight corridors. Your clients and crew will appreciate the convenience, and your load-in/load-out will be faster than ever before.
A Thriving Community
When you book with us, you're not just a customer; you're part of the Chroma Canvas community. We host regular workshops, networking events, and artist showcases. We feature our clients' work on our popular social media channels, providing valuable exposure. We believe in fostering connections and building a supportive ecosystem where creatives can learn, grow, and collaborate. Our client lounge is often a hub of creative conversation and new partnerships.

Your Questions, Answered
We understand that creativity doesn't always stick to a strict schedule. Overtime is billed in 30-minute increments at 1.5x the pro-rated hourly rate of your booking. We kindly ask that you notify the on-site studio manager at least one hour before your scheduled end time if you anticipate needing overtime. This allows us to check for any conflicting bookings and make necessary arrangements. We always do our best to accommodate overtime requests, but availability is not guaranteed.
Yes, for all Professional Pass and Enterprise Lockout bookings, we require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) with a minimum of $1,000,000 in general liability, listing "Chroma Canvas Studios LLC" as additionally insured. This is standard industry practice and protects you, your client, and our facility. For smaller Creator Pass bookings, we offer an optional in-house insurance waiver for a small fee. Please contact us for details.
Our cyclorama walls must remain their designated color (white or chroma green). We do not permit any painting, drilling, or permanent modifications. If your project requires a specific color, we recommend building a temporary flat or utilizing our extensive selection of colored seamless paper backdrops. Our Cyc Infinity floor is freshly painted weekly, but if you require a pristine, unscuffed floor for a downward-facing shot, a repaint fee of $250 can be applied to have it painted the morning of your shoot.
Well-behaved animals that are part of the photoshoot are welcome with prior approval. Please notify us at the time of booking if you plan to have animals on set. An additional cleaning fee may apply. We require that animals be supervised at all times and kept on a leash when not being actively photographed. The client assumes full responsibility for any damages caused by the animal.
Our complimentary Standard Grip Package is quite comprehensive. It includes: 6x 40" C-Stands, 10x 15lb Sandbags, 2x Full Apple Box sets, 4x V-Flats (black/white foam core), a variety of A-clamps and super clamps, and 4x 50' stingers (extension cords). This package is typically more than enough for most standard photoshoots. Additional grip and electric equipment can be rented from our a-la-carte inventory.
Absolutely! We encourage you to create a vibe that inspires your team. Each studio is equipped with a high-quality Bluetooth sound system (e.g., Sonos or similar) that you can easily connect your device to. We just ask that you be mindful of volume levels, especially if there is a video shoot requiring clean audio in an adjacent studio. Our studio manager will advise you if any adjustments are needed.
Yes. We have a private parking lot with 10 dedicated spaces available free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. For larger productions, there is ample metered street parking on the surrounding blocks and a paid parking garage located just a two-minute walk from our entrance. We also have a designated 15-minute loading zone directly in front of our ground-floor access door for easy equipment load-in and load-out.
We maintain a clear and fair cancellation policy. More than 7 days notice: Full refund or credit towards a future booking. 3 to 7 days notice: 50% refund, or 100% credit towards a future booking. Less than 72 hours notice: The booking is non-refundable and no credit will be issued. This policy helps us manage our studio calendar effectively and fairly for all clients. All cancellations must be made in writing via email.
