250 m² daylight photo studio St.Gallen

Photo studio St.Gallen – 250 m² of space filled with natural daylight and industrial character — just one hour from Zurich.

A Modern Daylight photo Studio near Zurich and St.Gallen.

Industrial photo studio near Zurich with lots of daylight and a high ceiling.

Our photo studio in St.Gallen isn’t an anonymous space. It’s set inside the historic hall of a former printing press. With 5-meter ceilings and large windows on three sides, the studio is filled with natural light.

The original frosted glass softens the sun beautifully, creating a signature, gentle glow that’s hard to replicate. Honestly, we haven’t seen anything quite like it in any other photo studio in Eastern Switzerland.

You’ll find real character in our industrial photo studio.

Paired with the warm brown tones of our floors, the space creates a one-of-a-kind look.

Even die-hard black-and-white lovers have fallen for it. Stop by and see it for yourself.

Do you have questions?

01.

At the moment, we don’t offer hourly rentals. Right now, we only offer half-day rental options. We always want to be on-site for a short personal introduction, and we also need enough time to reset our own sets and clean up properly—so this is simply the only option that makes sense for us.

The rental price includes full use of the studio space, furniture, electricity, and natural daylight. If you’d like, you can also add professional lighting equipment (Profoto flash system or Aputure continuous lights) for an additional fee.
You’ll find our current prices listed above in this article.

02.

Yes—our studio is located in St. Gallen, right off the highway, and only about one hour from Zurich. We have many clients who regularly come to our studio from Zurich.

If you love strong, soulful photography, we truly believe you won’t find a better studio like this in Eastern Switzerland right now.
