Photo and video studio rental in SODO, Seattle

Brick, vintage beams and window light, with two dedicated circuits for your lights.

A sunlit fourth-floor loft in a historic SODO building, directly across from Lumen Field. About 1,000 square feet of original plank floors, exposed vintage wood beams, century-old brick and art-covered walls, so every angle already has texture. Three windows look down Occidental Ave S and bring in natural light.

Brand shoots, music videos, lookbooks and content creators all work here. The furniture moves, and so does the vintage barber chair, so you can clear the floor down to the planks or keep the lived-in look.

Two dedicated 20A / 120V circuits give your lights their own power. Wired high-speed business internet, with ethernet and Wi-Fi, handles tethering, uploads and client review. A high-lumen projector, production-quality speakers and a commercial drink fridge round out the day.

Media production books direct at $70/hr with a 4-hour minimum, at least 15% below the $85/hr marketplace rate. The freight elevator can bring up gear when planned in advance. Entry is keyless.
