(Industrial Daylight Studio)

daylight photo studio

What makes our photo studio rental in Switzerland different

A former printing house. 250 m² of open industrial loft. Three oversized window fronts that scatter light the way softboxes never quite manage. High ceilings, warm wooden floors, raw concrete walls — a space with character before you even set up your first frame.

This is a natural light photography studio built by accident: the building was designed for printers who needed even, consistent daylight all day long. For photography, that’s rare. In the morning the eastern light comes in soft and golden. By midday it diffuses evenly across the entire floor.

The studio works for portraits, headshots, business photography, product shoots, and smaller video productions. Need full light control? A Profoto strobe setup and light shapers are available as an add-on.

they say

kind

Spent a full day at the studio at the end of January with a team of 7 and I can only rave about it. Clean industrial look, plenty of lighting options and more than enough space for make-up artists and all the equipment we brought along. Even though it was winter, it stayed pleasantly warm and relaxed throughout the day.
