★★★★★

The influence team helped us when we needed a studio last minute. They were super communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. Trina was our on-site manager, and she was awesome and helped us with all of our needs. The photos look awesome and we’re so happy with our experience. Will definitely be back in the future!

★★★★★

The entire experience top to bottom couldn't have been better. The space is exactly as advertised with some flexibility to suit the exact needs of the shot. Everything was clearly laid out. Perfectly convenient. We will be coming back.

★★★★★

Influence Studios was perfect for our shoot. The different set-ups they've designed looked incredible in our photos and Kirk was awesome to work with. I highly recommend using their studio and I hope to have the opportunity to shoot their again!

★★★★★

This is amazing place to make content for our brand. This space simplifies the creation process and definitely beats renting out houses to only use the kitchen or dining room. We've done 3 or 4 shoots already and have more on the books. Definitely recommend to a brand looking to bank content or shoot a spot.

Advantages of a turn-key production studio

Our photo and video studio combines all the best aspects of a commercial shoot location. It is as much turn-key as it is customizable.

Pre-lit Sets

We have a fully built-out lighting grid above each set that provides a clean and commercial look. This lighting is perfect for influencers, content creators, and independent photographers who don’t have a lot of time or budget to shoot with a big crew. Simply flip on the set switch and you’re good to go.

For larger crews and brands who require custom looks, our grid lighting is the perfect foundation to build from. We also rent

Pre-styled Sets

Our sets also come pre-styled, which saves a ton of time and resources that would otherwise go toward set dressing. And just like with the lighting grid, you can use all of our props and furniture, or you can bring in your own with easy garage door loading access.

We have many sets that are designed to look like rooms in a home. We know how challenging it is to operate a crew inside an actual house - with so many limitations on space and power. We brought the feeling and decor of these household rooms with plenty of space to operate.

We also have an elaborate spread of sets for ecomm work, like the Cyc Wall and Product Table sets.

One of the biggest values of our production rental studios is being able to shoot through all of your line sheets for ecomm and then take that product right into a lifestyle set to get more content for web or socials. This makes our clients look good to their clients by being able to offer a wider variety of content within one shoot location.

How We Started

Influence Studios was born during Covid when set closures and restrictions nearly bankrupted the production industry. We knew then that traditional productions would change forever, and the photo and video rental studios would need to adapt. Instead of banking on huge shoots with massive crews, Influence Studios was built for content creators and brands that want to/need to operate more efficiently.

We wanted to make things as easy as possible for content creators to capture beautiful commercial imagery. We also wanted to make high-quality content more accessible for all content creators. We’re allowing content to be shot more effortlessly by eliminating some of the production bottlenecks and setup times.
