💫 Step 4: What to Expect // Renting an L.A. Production Studio
Once you’ve booked your Los Angeles photo studio here are a few things to keep in mind as your approach your rental date:
- Communicate with your host — confirm gear, setup or sound needs before the shoot. Thoroughly review your hosts online reviews and entry instructions.
- Show up on time — setup and teardown count toward your booked hours, so be sure to show up on time, and check in with your host if you plan to go overtime.
- Double-check amenities — make sure lighting, outlets, props/furniture are included. Make sure to thoroughly research how your host expects you to reset the space.
- Plan for parking — confirm your spot in advance; and check to see if your host’s studio is located on Google Business to assist with navigation.
- Be respectful — follow studio rules and leave the space as you found it.
- Leave a review — consider leaving your host a review so they can continue to improve their services. Considerate hosts may even be willing to offer discounted services or memberships for loyal reviewers.
