Ok, since the town made me close my gallery, I have wanted to use the space as a studio again. So I am in the process of tearing down the gallery fixtures and putting the studio stuff back in the space. Out of the blue I was approached by another photographer offering to rent my studio space on an as needed basis. This I wouldn't mind doing.
So here are my questions:
Has anyone rented studio space before - as the owner or user? How? By the hour? Day?
What was included in the space (like lights, props, etc.)?
What should you include in the space? And can you charge more for equipment use or should it be included in the fee?

Went there and YIKES!!! Hurt my eyes so bad, I went no further. That blue on black is a site-killer, IMO. |

Why did you post this link? Besides being very difficult to read (as jemison said) I could find nothing relevant to my questions other than this statement: "Rent our Photo Studio!"

Studio rentals are either hourly, halfday or full day.
Usually the rate includes backdrops and basic lighting with additional lighting or props additional fees.
Rental goes from $25 up per hour depending on what the traffic in your area will be able to afford and how nice your studio space is.
I can find pricing in the Toronto area but you need to look in your area for comparable fees...
i found mention of a studio in detroit that charges $100 for 3 hours of studio space that includes a painted white seamless and drops and some lighting but i dont know what lights, I would think that it would be minimal lighting.
Dont forget that setup and take down takes time...

By the day usually.
Equipment is extra unless it's a COOP type thing.
somestimes it's best to get them to pay every month for a so many days. That way you can have guaranteed monthly income to cover expenses.
Why did the town make you close your gallery?

| They rezoned a portion of the area which then made my gallery space fall into a commercial category which requires a lot of stuff I could not afford. They were requiring me to have fire supression not just fire extinguishers (even though there was no smoking in the gallery), all parking had to be paved and I had to have 11 spaces (I currently have paved space for 5 and unpaved space for as many who want to park there) and a bunch of other stuff. The gallery was in what used to be my garage so it was fairly small. I didn't make a lot of money from it. I opened it mainly for local artists and photographers to have a space to hang their stuff (never hung my own stuff in it) since the gallery in town is too snooty to hang stuff unless you kiss their arse and sign away huge commissions to them. I got a good amount of traffic every day it was open and the artists/photogs who hung stuff there sold many items. I still get calls for it. It was called The Gallerage. |
