For people looking to take photos
Our studio may be cozy, but it's packed with included professional-grade equipment (see below for a list). We offer 300ws strobes for photo and optional extra Aputure constant lighting, perfect for both photo and video shoots. The space has a good sound profile for quiet interviews. Its natural light can be blocked out for consistent lighting, too. Need extra gear? Book it on Sandpiper's ShareGrid page and we'll give you a discount and have it ready for you when you arrive.
While you're here, you get all the benefits of the SURF Incubator co-working space, including on-site staff, bathrooms, kitchens, coffee, and 1 Gb/s fiber Internet. For those needing a bit more space, we recommend booking the Nihoa room next to our studio. It's great for makeup and wardrobe needs, giving you that extra room to prepare and make your session run smoothly.
Our studio has direct access via the freight elevator from the garage—no stairs, just a straight shot up from the garage for ultimate convenience. This setup is perfect for transporting gear and keeping everything stress-free.
