WICKER PARK STUDIO NORTH

The Space

Located in the heart of Wicker Park, our 1,000 sq. ft. North-facing studio was designed to be functional and aesthetically-inspiring. The studio has beautiful natural light, a large hand-painted movable wall, a lounge space, and tons of designer chairs. Access to C stands, apple boxes, sandbags, v-flat, Bluetooth speakers, and high-speed WiFi are included in the rental. Access to a full collection of 9’ seamless savage rolls can be added on as extras.

The studio is located on the 3rd floor of the iconic Flatiron Arts building. A passenger elevator is available to all guests. There is a 1-hour minimum (including load-in/load-out time) but we also offer a discounted day rate.  (20% off bookings over 8 hours.)

The studio gets incredible natural light all day from sunrise to sunset, with the huge north-facing windows that give you amazing soft and bright ambient lighting even on a cloudy day.

Looking for more dramatic natural lighting? Check out our studio on the other side of the building: Wicker Park Studio South. Studio South features direct sunlight in the early morning, throughout the afternoon and at golden hour.

What people are saying

  • I rented the Wicker Park Photo Studio for an afternoon of shooting portraits of my company's leadership teams. The process of accessing the studio was smooth and easy, the studio itself was pristine with absolute best natural light, and the location was super convenient. All communication on how to enter and utilize the studio and building were super straightforward. Will definitely book again! Couldn't have been better.

  • Lovely lovely studio! Very spacious, plenty of light even on gloomy days. Nice selection of chairs and other furniture. Beautiful aesthetic over all! Booked it for 2 hour photoshoot. Definitely will be coming back again. Can not beat the price+space+location.

  • The Wicker Park Studio is one of my favorite studios in Chicago! The light is perfect for natural photography and the space has so many different areas to leverage when bringing clients in for shoots. I personally have used this space for a range of shoots including headshots, engagement sessions and even editorial work. Every time I leave this space I look forward to the next time I get to come back :)
