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 :)
