How does studio rental work?
1. Check availability
Send us your preferred date, how long you need the space and what you plan to shoot, including the size of your crew and any special gear. The more we know, the smoother your day runs.
2. Confirm your booking
We confirm the date, the gear you need and any crew add-ons, and send the booking details.
3. Shoot in the studio
Arrive at 365 Victor St in Salinas, load in, and use the space for your whole booking. Leave it as you found it and your shoot is done.
Both. Short bookings suit a quick headshot or product session, and full-day bookings suit larger productions. [CONFIRM: minimum booking length and full-day hours]
Your booking includes use of the 1,600 sq ft space along with the studio's lighting and backdrops. [CONFIRM: exact gear included versus extra]
No. You can bring your own team and run your shoot yourself. LC1 crew is an optional add-on when you want help with camera, lighting or editing.
Contact us with your date, booking length and project type. We check the calendar, answer your questions and confirm the reservation with you directly. [CONFIRM: deposit or cancellation policy]
