ll of the conveniences of a modern studio catering to digital and/or film based photography, Highlight Studios was built to optimal specifications as established in the 1850s — photographic studio and lighting conditions coveted well into the 20th Century by icons including Nadar, Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. With two north facing studios available, Studio A is our premier photographic studio located on the top floor of the building. Studio A is constructed with a sloped, north facing wall of windows plus a glass ceiling that allows for continuous soft light throughout the day. Studio B is also designed with a full wall of north facing windows and located just below Studio A on the 3rd Floor. A Rooftop Deck is also available for open air shoots and events.
