The Mason
Towering concrete walls are flooded with natural light from huge south facing windows creating a beautiful set. The windows can also be blacked out if shaping your subject with studio lights is your thing. The Mason gives an overall industrial feel designed to give you a large open space to create your vision. Concrete studio boxes, a large array of wooden chairs, wood stained apple boxes, and metal stools are also on set to give you many options for shooting. The Mason also offers strobes and modifiers included with your booking. Roller stands, a reflector stand, C-stands, sand bags, a large cart and V-flats are also included to make this a turn key studio ready to be shot in. Just show up with your camera and leave your bulky equipment at home.
Beyond the main floor is a glam area, and a zen garden patio. The patio is great for guests if they want to step away from set and relax, or it can be used to shoot outdoors with natural light against the large white backdrop.
See bottom of page for equipment included with your booking, and daylight descriptions by season.

How’s the Light?
— Summer months the sun's path is further north, which gives a soft ambient light all day long with little variation throughout the day.
— Winter months the direct light shines far into the studio creating dramatic shadows.
7:00 am - 11:00 am: direct light on the West wall
11:00 am - 2:00 pm: direct light on the floor
2:00 pm - 6:00 pm: direct light on the East wall
— Fall & Spring months are a happy medium of the two above.
