FAQ

Share:

We are creative rental suites designed for photographers. We do not actually provide any photography services. Rental includes access to the space as well as access to all props / furniture / etc for photography purposes. We are available for hourly rentals.

Interested in having a photo shoot at our space but don't have a photographer yet, reach out and we can give you recommendations! Also, be sure to check out the tagged photos on our instagram to find so many amazing photographers in Cincinnati! Due to liability reasons, the space must be rented by the photographer if a shoot is to take place. Please have your photographer access the site to reserve a time slot.

I'm confused, what exactly is this place?

Interested in renting our space for something other than a photoshoot? Workshop, classes, meetups, styled shoots, small events, etc? Please reach out!! Suites are designed for one photographer only, assistant/team member excluded. If interested in a rental for multiple photographers or a creative looking for an educational space, please reach out to us on our contact form to receive more info! We'd love to have you! 

other than a photoshoot

We cannot guarantee a noise free environment as there are multiple units in the building. We are also located on a busy street (vine st) and in an old building, as well as within close proximity to train tracks. We recommend not using live audio unless you are comfortable working in noisy environments and have the right equipment to do so. 

VIDEOGRAPHERS

We require a minimum of 4 hour rental for a wedding day suite. Please reach out to us before booking for additional info and the private booking link.

Set-up and breakdown must be accounted for in the amount of time that you reserve. Please be sure to rent enough time to prepare for your session(s) including any backdrops, artists/stylists, etc, as well as time to clean up the space. We ask that you treat this space as if it were your own, with care and respect. Please leave the space in the same way that you came, as there may be another photographer scheduled after your time slot.

We highly recommend renting two hours if planning to fill the tub as it takes quite a bit of time to fill and drain, and must be wiped out and clean before the next rental. 

IF YOU DO NOT LEAVE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME AND GO INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S SCHEDULED TIME, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CHARGED FOR THE NEXT HOUR, AS WELL AS ANY LOSSES THE NEXT PHOTOGRAPHER/CLIENT MAY HAVE INCURRED. 

SET UP TIME/CLEAN UP?

Yes, we kindly ask that you have no more than 6 people per hour unless you select the large group add-on. At this time The Loft is limited to 6 people only per hour.

Each space is designed for one photographer only at a time. An assistant / second photographer is allowed. 

Not sure how to count people? Each person that enters the space during an hour period, count as 1. 6 people total per hour does not mean only 6 people at a time. It means that if a person enters during that hour period they count as 1, even if someone has left within that time period.

For example : You shoot one family of five during your first hour, then a second family arrives for your second hour, this is okay! 

If you have two families of 5 come within one hour for minis, this would count as a large group fee, as you'd have 11 people in the space within one hour. You would select the 7-12 add-on when booking. (Need to add it after you booked, shoot us an email!)

3 families of 5 within an hour for minis, select the 13-18 add-on! 

Please reach out if you have any questions about group sizes! 

is there a person limit? large group add-ons?

Please respect this space.

We are photographers ourselves and have been using this space for years prior to opening it up to others. We know how much wear and tear to expect from sessions of all types. 

You are required to educate your clients!!! They don't know if you don't tell them. Please have them clean their shoes well before entering. If they will be walking through snow/rain/etc, have them bring a change of shoes that they can swap at the door. This helps keep the floors clean not only for us, but for you and all of your session(s).

Please let parents know that children need to be closely monitored in order to keep this space clean. 

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINKS ON THE BED OR FURNITURE.

ABSOLUTELY NO GLITTER. THIS INCLUDES HOLIDAY DECORATIONS. 

Please leave the space how you found it. This includes sweeping up any messes, etc. Wiping up any large marks on the floor. It is very easy to clean! Please just take a few moments at the end of your rental to make sure the next photographer has a clean work space! Most likely there is someone renting after you and they hope to find the space in the same condition that you did.

If you think this list is excessive, we encourage you to look up other white studios and their costs + rules and regulations. We promise we are actually super laid back people and don't ask much. We've worked incredibly hard on this space. PLEASE TREAT IT LIKE IT IS YOUR HOME. And for the record, for the most part we've had amazing renters!
