Alive Photography Studio Share – North Boulder Cooperative studio led by Benjamin D. Buren of Alive Studios (http://www.AliveStudios.Com) currently has space available for professional & semi-professional photographers. Having access to a fully equipped and very comfortable studio will impress your clients! Rent is between $200 and $540 per month depending on your needs, and our scheduling availability. Read on to learn more about our facilities equipment list, general membership guidelines, and photos of the space and surrounding shooting locations.

The cooperative studio provides much more than just a shooting location. Our group of professional and semi-professional photographers (visit the Alive Studios Blog – http://www.alive-studios.blogspot.com) love to hang out and talk shop. Once every few months we all get together to show our latest work, drink vino, and talk about crazy photography experiences. The goal is to inspire and be inspired. Many of our members joined as much for this benefit as for a shooting space.

The studio is designed around a concept of providing multiple shooting stages for a single photographer and can handle groups sizes up to 10 people utilizing our 12’ seamless paper backdrops. An additional 9’ seamless paper backdrop area provides an alternative shooting setup. Both backdrop spaces have natural light streaming in from the East double glass doors. Black out shades also give the option to completely control light.

Inside the Studio:

The surrounding area in North Boulder (address is 4593 Broadway – intersection of Broadway and Yarmouth across from Amante Coffee) also provides great industrial shooting locations for those clients that want both Studio and Outdoor shots. Additionally, Foothills Community Park is just a couple minutes from the studio.
