About this space

Studio A is an authentic north-light studio built to optimal specifications as established in the 1850s. North-light photographic studios and lighting conditions were made famous in the 20th century by icons including Irving Penn and Richard Avedon.

The space has a sloped, north-facing wall of non-UV blocking windows plus a glass ceiling that allows for continuous soft light throughout the day.
