SHOOT THE FRUIT
The Fruit was founded by a photographer, Tim Walter, and our renovation preserved a number of unusual textures, settings and sight lines to give you options not available in a generic studio. That being said, we also have a 20'x15'x12' high "infinity wall" available with a makeup table.
The main floor has ceiling heights of about 13 feet, and the upstairs 9', and the basement is 7'-8'. Each area has its own unique aesthetic while still being malleable to your creative vision. We do our best to make sure you get the exact space you want, but most creatives get into the building and want to run all over the place. A day-long booking allows that flexibility. For a four-hour booking you can select two areas, and moving elsewhere depends on who else is in the space and what else is happening.
Commercial rates (e.g. the Carolina Hurricanes) are $1000 per day for a 10-hour day. Emerging artists, students, and non-commercial uses are $200 for four hours, $45 per hour per hour or portion after. Shorter durations are welcome when they piggyback with times we're already running that day. You may request a subsidized rate, but please realize we've had no income for seven months and your payment provides a taste of income for our team. And please tell your world about us! Non-commercial work must include credits and tags to the Fruit on social media.
We have some strobe equipment available for rent. Repainting the infinity wall white is $75 and Chroma Green is $200.
We host some artists-in-residence, and if you'd like to apply for this privilege please email us. Currently we host Kennedi Carter, Jasmyn Milan, The Floor 919, Zoo Cru, and Shattering-Light.
