Room setup

Issue with backdrop. Other than that everything was great. I’m recommending the space to other family and friends. Also another photographer next door kept interrupting our session to get assistance from my photographer which made me lose about 30mins of my allotted time.

This was my first time shooting in Chicago as I was travelling into the city for a meeting and wanted an opportunity to shoot. I would HAPPILY book again - even this studio. I've been shooting in studios for multiple decades and appreciate the system (secure check in, digital correspondence, reasonable pricing). I'd highly recommend this space to others and am now curious about the other space and future opportunites.

No major complaints for my session. I was not able to get the top row of spotlights to turn on. Perhaps I was doing something incorrectly, but the remainder of the grid was working in the area I needed them (nearest the wall of vertical tubes.
