STUDIO RENTAL

The Image Mechanics Rental Photo Studio

Our studio is located near the beach in the hip Ocean Park neighborhood of Santa Monica. The 1,000-square-foot space includes a client lounge, a hair and makeup room along with a private client editing and retouching suite. The entire space embodies the comfort and vibe of a sleek boutique hotel to provide both the intimacy and discretion that celebrity clients and photographers desire. Designed with green ideals in mind, the studio provides professional-grade equipment at a minimal cost to the environment.

Low-impact measures used to create the eco-friendly studio include low or zero VOC paints in most of the space; warm fluorescent lighting in every fixture with the exception of a few specialty lamps; laminate click-in-place floors that were manufactured in California and installed without toxic glues; and dual-flush, low-flow toilets and LEED-certified hand dryers in the bathrooms. Nearly all of the furniture in the new space has been reused or repurposed from the firm’s former studio in Hollywood. Image Mechanics has also implemented an aggressive reuse/recycling office policy and uses an environmentally friendly cleaning crew that cleans with green products.
