SHOOT THE FRUIT
The Fruit was founded by a photographer, Tim Walter, who bought the space initially to use as a studio. While we once considered running a commercial shared studio business, today we're less available for shoots, especially those under four hours.
Throughout the warehouse you will find eclectic industrial textures that serve wonderfully as photo backdrops and settings for your movie or music video. Ceiling heights vary between 7ft to 13ft. Each area has its own unique aesthetic while still being malleable to your creative vision. For rentals over $500 we will allow you to reserve a particular space in advance. But for rentals under $500 we no longer guarantee which space will be available to you until the week of your shoot if we can.
Non commercial art rates are four hours for $190; additional hours are $45.
Commercial day rate is $600/4 hours or $1000 up to10 hours.
Reservations less than a day can select 1-to-2 available spaces to utilize. 'Available' pertains to what other events are occurring at the time of your shoot request. Spaces are apt to change per event or may not be available due to other reservations. In other words, if you're a short-term art rental, you might be nudged out of the way of a longer rental. Hey, we're doing what we can to keep costs low but also stay in existence to serve you!
Natural light is available in some spaces but not all. Light equipment is available for rent, please inquire.
Some prop furniture is also available without additional cost.
We renovated with an eye towards shooting angles, sight-lines, and interesting backgrounds. Have you tried garage door side lighting, into a dark distance 50 ft away? A downlight strapped 13 feet in the air, well out of the way of a leaping performer? An awesome window perfect for silhouette? A room painted entirely in blue?
To be extra clear: for instance, if you really really want the Blue Room in a month from now, you have to commit to a minimum of $500 for which we will reserve it and one other space for you. If you can't afford that minimum, then you can have the room at a discount, but you have to wait til 7 days prior to see if anyone else has already reserved it and you have to work around their needs.
