The Essential Guide TO Sharing a Studio

Have you been dreaming of a studio space but thought it was too expensive to become a reality?  Are you tired of only shooting outdoors or on location? Do you struggle with lighting in a client’s home or office? Are your winter months quiet but your fall is frantic? Are you tired of selling wall art in a crowded cafe over the grinding of coffee? Have you ever panicked when you see the forecast, with rain predicted during your outdoor extended family session? Are you frustrated with the lack of public studio space currently available for rent in your area?

The answer is creating a Collective Photography studio.  Using the collective spending power of several photographers allows you to create a luxury photography studio while minimizing expenses and maximizing the benefits.

Whether you have been dreaming of a studio for years or are just now considering the opportunity, we have all the tips to help you get started with our Collective Studio Guide!  Together, we have saved over $340,000 in studio costs compared to individually running our own studio spaces over the last ten years. Come take a peek into our studio and let us show you exactly how we’ve mastered the art of sharing one studio space among several photographers. 

This guide covers everything from how to find a space, how to look for fellow members to share that studio, and how to keep it running smoothly from bill paying to calendar usage, member transitions, and more.  We will cover ten years of what has worked (and spare you what didn’t.) We’ve created thriving, year-round businesses while keeping our monthly studio costs very low, and we want to help you do that, too!
