About our studio

Welcome to Studio A, Manhattan's ONLY authentic north-light commercial photo studio.

Studio A is built to optimal specifications as established in the 1850s. North-light photographic studios and lighting conditions were made famous in the 20th century by icons including Irving Penn and Richard Avedon.

Studio A has been constructed with a sloped, north-facing wall of windows plus a glass ceiling that allows for continuous soft light throughout the date. Each window bay is installed with remote controlled, custom fit shades, giving the photographer full command over the amount and direction of light entering the space.

Studio A is ideal for still life shoots, portrait sessions, editorial, small events, castings and much more.
