West St. Studios, Brooklyn

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We provide friendly, affordable shooting space for both amateur and professional photographers. We offer hourly and daily bookings and we're staffed by knowledgeable working photographers. All bookings include a makeup station, grip gear and a clothes steamer.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
We are a small group of NYC photographers who were tired of renting out dance studios and rehearsal spaces. Not being able to afford the larger studios in Manhattan, we created a place for us to work and collaborate with other creatives.

What do you love most about your job?
I absolutely love the fact that photographers create amazing images here. I love that we can provide affordable space to do things that they can't pull off in their home studios. I love that we've created a community of creatives who want to help others learn and collaborate.
