Headshot Photographers (we recommend)
The Headshot Truck
You may have seen their big pink truck around town or recently
in the New York Times, on CBS, and ABC. They come highly
recommended by the industry. Be sure to look out for them at the Studio!
SPACE RENTAL
We rent our facilities out to groups inside and outside of the ASoOC Community. Our facilities are professional, open, welcoming, and private. So whether it's a rehearsal, audition, meeting, or shoot, our rooms can be a good fit for your needs. Here are our rates for each room:
Large Room - $20/hour
2nd Room - $15/hour
Office with curtain partition - $10/hour (During rental, the curtain is drawn so that our administrative team can still access our scene library and equipment locker.)
The studio is open most hours of the week, but when a rental request occurs during closed hours, there is an additional charge of $15/hour for a member of our administrative team to be present. To get the ball rolling, e-mail Nova Jones at nova@asooc.com to book a room!
