NEED A SPACE FOR YOUR CREATIVE PROJECTS?
Rent our photo studio
Many photo studios are available for rent all over Montreal… but often at prices that, although adequate for large commercial projects, can hurt those who are new to the artistic world.
Whether you are photographers just starting out in photography, the next generation of artists who want to build their first portfolio, artists who simply want to create, fashion designers launching their first collection, startups needing to shoot products, or bloggers wishing to film a web capsule, Studio Le402 exists for you.
THE CREATIVE SPACE
PLAN OF THE STUDIO
The studio is part of our Creative Space, a large open space on the ground floor of a commercial duplex.
The studio offers you:
- 1500 sf of space, with 8’6″ ceilings
- natural light
- various backgrounds and decors (boudoir, kids, corporate, etc.)
- photo equipment included (2 flashes and softbox + universal trigger), possibility of having access to other equipment on request ($)
- private makeup and preparation room
- various seamless paper backgrounds ($)
- complete and private bathroom
- access to the kitchen (with coffee!)
The use of the studio is exclusive to you during your shoot, no one else shoots at the same time as you. Our studio manager is present on an irregular basis, so she may be able to welcome you, but if not, the studio is 100% autonomous, you will have a unique code for the door, and our Studio Guide will will be sent before your booking so you know where to find everything and how to properly plan your visit.
