Black leather loungers and chartreuse velvet on cowhide. A curved glass table, chrome and steel throughout, and a brushed aluminium wall that throws hard, liquid reflections. Two tall white walls carry the skylight; turn ninety degrees and you're on untouched red brick. Every set is standing, every light is rigged, and it's all yours for the hour.

Nothing here
is an add-on.
The Lounge
Low black leather loungers and sculptural chartreuse velvet armchairs on cowhide. A curved glass waterfall table, a chrome wire cube, a fluted rosewood screen, a 76-inch leaning mirror.
The Wall
A 4×6-ft brushed aluminium panel that throws hard, liquid reflections — the look everyone is chasing and almost nobody in OC has. Behind it, Savage seamless in white, black and grey.
The Espresso Bar
Espresso on arrival in polished steel cups, chrome-wire shelving styled with glass and objects, a vanity with mirror and lighting, a steamed-and-ready garment rack. The unglamorous half of a good shoot day, handled — and shootable.

Before you book.
[ 01 ]Is a photographer included?+
No — Studio 3 is studio space only. If you need a shooter, stylist, HMU or producer, use the Need A Creative? page and we'll connect you with someone from our roster.
[ 02 ]What is the cancellation policy?+
Full refund more than 48 hours out. 50% between 48 and 24 hours. No refund inside 24 hours. Reschedules handled case by case.
[ 03 ]How many people can I bring?+
Six is the standard headcount. Larger crews are welcome — select your group size when you book and the add-on is applied automatically so we can plan the room.
[ 04 ]Can I load in gear and set pieces?+
Yes — with one thing to plan for: Studio 3 is on the second floor and there is no elevator. It's one flight of stairs, easy with camera bags, rolling cases and light stands. If you're bringing heavy set pieces, large carts or a full grip package, message us ahead and we'll help you plan the load-in. Build load-in and strike into the hours you book — the room must be clear by the end of your booking or overtime applies.
[ 05 ]Video, streams and events?+
Video and streaming are welcome. Events, workshops and larger productions are quoted separately — send details and we'll come back with a rate.
[ 06 ]Parking?+
Street parking on 4th plus nearby public structures in Historic Downtown Santa Ana.
