White Studios

White Studios is a very decent studio.
I’m from Los Angeles and I have to say… White Studios is almost on par with some of the best LA studios (like Smashbox Studios or Siren Studios).
I’ve participated in a few photoshoots here and I have to say, it was easily the most comfortable studio in Auckland.
Some things that really impressed me were:
1.) Built in Heating/​Air conditioning in individual studios.
2.) «Lounge» type area with many complimentary tea and coffee options.
3.) Private dressing/​make-​up rooms
There –are– two reasons that I removed a star:
1.) Showers are very visible to the people in the parking lot.
2.) The studio cat came in and peed in the photographer’s camera bag.
Obviously, cats are going to be cats… but it is something that could have been avoided.
Over all, I’m impressed with White Studios. I hope I can shoot there again before I head back to Los Angeles!

I did a product photoshoot here which is usually a little difficult because everything needs to be consistent e.g. placement, lighting etc and I was so happy with the venue! We used the large room, totally white with curved walls for a seamless photograph. We had the place for the whole day and we weren’t disturbed once. There is free parking onsite, not heaps of spaces but we both got a park. It’s in a great location too with plenty of places around to grab some lunch or a coffee in your break. The people there are really great to deal with, they make the whole photography in a studio thing really relaxed and much less daunting.

When they say the studios are white, they mean a WHITE, blank studio for you to work with and build on. This venue is great for photography or small-​scale filming, and you can hire out an array of handy gadgets. All reasonably priced, they have all your lighting, sound and picture needs.
I hired a massive generator from these guys for a small fee of $ 75 — they put it in the car for me and even offered to take it in the van if need be. They are a great bunch, and have loads of affordable options. They even send you a personally signed Christmas card at the end of the year if you are on their books.
