Photo and Video Production Studio

Production:

Union Square Loft isn’t just centrally located and accessible through New York City’s central traffic arteries. It’s also a flexible “blank canvas” loft enhanced with  tech and production accessories, bringing your vision to life. Knowing how complicated and tiresome a video and photography project can be to produce, we have in-house options for equipment rentals and will work with you to enhance your experience. Perfect for commercials, photoshoots (celebrities, models, ad campaigns, etc…), fashion shows, music videos, content creating, castings. Did we mention Adorama’s down the street?

Take the load off your production. We even have the perfect solution to your Craft services needs with an adjoining prep kitchen and the Union Square Park area’s boundless catering and food ordering options; Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are a few blocks away. Our photography and video studio rental includes seating for up to fifty, and table options as needed for your production’s configuration.

Say your production’s bigger than Union Square Loft’s capacity? No worries, we have partnerships with neighboring production spaces, making a 750-person production with holding areas, craft services for large groups, over 1500-person projects within a block, and a main production room in a single two-elevator building within the realm of possibility. We also scout rooftops in Manhattan and Brooklyn. 

Our building offers a separate street level entrance for easy off-loading access and a freight elevator that can also be used as a private entrance for cast and crew.
