Azeez was very communicative and a pleasant host as always, as was Sola who was very helpful and patient supervising our time at Loft 400. The studio was perfectly suited to our needs for both a white cyclorama AND green screen backdrop for two different scenes in our sci-fi pilot episode of S+HPW, "UTOPIA". The added bonus is all the other photo vignettes were crew can make separate zones for equipment and cast can have fun taking BTS photos while on standby. Every time we shoot here my cast and crew have a fabulous time and can't wait to do it all again! I highly recommend this photo/video studio to any and all indie directors and producers int he Chicago area.
The space was amazing!!! I showed up a little late to my booking and Azeez got me all set up ready to shoot in the space in 5 mins or less. The space has everything we needed and the equipment for use is top notch. Highly recommend this space for any creative in Chicago!
This was a beautiful space with so much versatility. The host communicated and was very accommodating with my photo shoot needs. I loved all the natural lighting from the windows and the space offered. I was so taken with the greenery for my safari theme. It helped round out my vision for my shoot. I really appreciate the ability to move and use items as props in the area. I am very pleased with the space that we used today. I would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you for being so accommodating!
This space was absolutely perfect for my artist branding shoot. We didn't have to bring so much because the scenery and props were enough. IT was absolutely perfect and when we needed help we were helped right away. I would recommend this space for ANY branding shoot of any kind! IT was such a relaxing and easy shoot...a lot different than other shoots in the past for sure!
First time booking a place myself. The host was very helpful. This place is hands down a favorite of mine. I rented the smoke machine and didn’t get to use it. Got so caught up in the Magic, we lost track of time. Tried to fit it in the last 20 mins but we definitely needed more time to start up the machine. I would definitely recommend this space. Very clean nicely set up and great hospitality
The event space was wonderful. Many options to choose from. Well put together, clean, and organized. Nice big windows to get some natural light in some areas. The host was very nice and welcoming; the vibes were immaculate. I will definitely be back soon.
Such a beautifulllll space. So many different look options to choose from. Well ventilated and plenty of light and add on options. Was able to accommodate last minute requests and responded very quickly! I will definitely book again in the future. The host was Extremely professional, pleasant, and knowledgeable. Thanks again for this amazing experience
We do photo shoots a few times a year in Chicago and this studio space is a game changer for us. With 4 different sets all in one good sized space and excellent natural light it’s ideal for a photo shoot and it’s very fairly priced. Communication was great and the entire process was easy and smooth. We will definitely be back here several times throughout the year.
It was great! We had a great time. The studio is amazing to work in. Clean professional equipment and setups. I really enjoyed it. Wish I can use it everyday. Our host was accommodating and informative. With him also being a photographer he knew exactly what we needed and helped us immensely. Can't wait to use the studio again.
Awesome space! This is my second time booking so you know I just love it!!! Free parking, great location-easy to find. Beyond helpful staff. Coffee, tea and there’s a bar on set to boot to cure any of those jitters. Definitely can’t wait to book again and again!!!
My photographer and I were greeted and shown to the space, which is just like its listed. No surprises, and exactly what we both expected. Photo equipment was available to use, and my photographer was given a quick and easy rundown of everything! It did get pretty warm in there, which I could have avoided had I turned on the AC when I arrived. If you book the space, just make sure to turn on the AC so you can go and cool yourself down. There are also fans available, which was great too. honestly 10/10 would absolutely shoot here again. The variety of sets and the ability to do both artificial and natural light setups really made it!
The host was very accommodating, informative, and super friendly. The space was better than I expected and there are so many sets to work with. I definitely plan on using this space again for my music videos. Thanks for having me!
I love this creative space. You have so many great options to choose from and add-ons. The space is very spacious and has big windows for natural lighting which is a plus. I would recommend this space for any photographers to book.
It was my first professional shoot and it was amazing. I love the red uhaul door, it made it feel top secret and special and the pictures on the site doesn't do the studio justice. It's so beautiful and Azeez was so awesome in helping me be comfortable in front of the camera. I really appreciate that. I will definitely be booking again and checking out the other Upscale Lofts because this was an unforgettable experience. Thanks for helping create a memorable moment in time.
AMAZING SPACE!!!! The host was responsive to all my messages and the space is exactly as they listed. I had a portrait shoot with a client for her business branding and we both loved how many backdrops the space offered. Multiple looks without leaving the room. Definitely booking this studio again in the future!
Amazing space, incredibly accommodating host. We were able to essentially shoot 4 different clothing campaigns with their variety of scenes and backdrops. Our host was super friendly, honored all our requests, and physically moved complete sets around for us. Shooting here again would be a no-brainer.
When I say this space has everything you need AND more, I absolutely mean it. Every space was exactly like the pictures. Everything was clean and they even had music playing in the background, which kept the vibe of the room off the charts. The host also made sure to see if we needed anything else. All in all this was a 10/10 experience and I would definitely recommend.
I LOVEEEE THIS SPOT‼️‼️ It’s literally everything you need in one space🙌🏽 Very well put together & very clean. The owner of the loft was very nice, professional & on point. You can tell he really put a lot into this place!! VERY CREATIVE SPACEs‼️ Definitely will be back😁❤️‼️
