"As a product photographer, having reliable, consistent light and a clean space is crucial. Lens Loft Studios delivered on all fronts. The cyclorama allowed for consistent backgrounds, and the included strobes were powerful and easy to modify. The DTLA location is convenient, and knowing the basic gear is already there saves hassle. Great value for the price."

"We rented the cyclorama studio for a small video project. The space was large enough for our crew, and the high ceilings were a major plus for rigging lights. The included grip equipment saved us from needing to rent extra stands. It's a professional, well-maintained space that feels designed with real production needs in mind. Will definitely book again for future video work."
