FAQ Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

No, because the representative will be on site for your reservation time. In addition, it is possible that there is already a photographer in the studio and the latter has the same right as you to enjoy his period without being disturbed.

Maximum 1 month in advance. It is however possible to rent further for special events that require a lot of preparation, such as for full days of agency recruitment, rentals of several consecutive days, competitions and others.

A representative will be on site to receive you at the time of your reservation.

No. Reservations are paid on booking and are non-refundable and non-transferable in terms of date and time. The reason is simple, when a block is displayed "reserved" in the calendar, people can no longer book this date.

Unfortunately not. Most device models work with our trigger, but some models don’t. Here is a list of those we know are incompatible and not working with our trigger:

• Sony A1
• Several models of Leica
• Canon EOS Rebel T100
• Canon EOS Rebel T7

We cannot guarantee that our trigger will be functional with your device, as models are multiplying on the market.

If you want to make sure, I suggest you bring your trigger and at least one receiver with 3.5mm mono plug.

But keep in mind that more than 98% of devices work.

It is always your responsibility to return the studio to the same condition as when you arrived, otherwise a cleaning/maintenance fee of $30 to $200, (+)plus damage repairs, if applicable, will be charged and payable on site.

The limit of people issued by the Montreal Fire Department is 40 people, only you will be very tight and will not have room to work. To have a comfortable space, the limit would be 15-18 people. The limit of 40 people applies more for conferences, people seated or not.

Please note that for groups of several people, a security deposit may be required. We have not established a minimum number of people before applying for a deposit because each situation is different, but count that if there are more than 7 people the chances are very high. You will still have the right to refuse to give a deposit, but in this case the limit of 7 people in the studio will be applied.

The studio is a place of creation/ work for photographers, it is not a party place.

No. For example, sessions with baby powder or body shine are sessions that require a very thorough cleaning and cause disorders for the following clients.

The idea is to return the studio to the same condition as when you arrived, otherwise a cleaning/maintenance fee of $ 30 to $ 200 (+)plus repairs of the damage, if applicable, will be charged.

Il y a deux possibilités :

- During your rental: If there is no one after you and the representative is available to stay on the premises, you will be able to buy overtime.

- In advance: If you have room in your block, example a rental of 3 hours with an additional 1 hour in the same block, there will be no problem. Note that if your rental is 5 hours and you want guaranteed overtime, you must buy a minimum of 2 hours extra.

Several videographers rent the studio to make video. On the other hand, you should note that the studio is in a commercial building and noises from neighbors can interfere with your achievements. The videographers informed us that to record the sound, the microphone ties are a minimum.

No. For video productions, you must have your own lighting; we have no video lighting available. Only, if you want to increase the brightness in the studio to make video making-off, it is possible to rent fixed ceiling lights of 100 watts and 6500 Kv.

Yes, please note that the pole can accommodate 9 feet rolls. We do not have rolls on site, but you can bring your own without problems.

No, no subscription is required, you rent and pay only what you need.

All rentals after 1 September 2018 are with flashes, the "no flash" option is no longer available for the following reasons:

• We have too many photo materials available to you at all times.
• Less than 5% of rentals were without flash.

• Ceilings communicate with the building and this has already caused a fire alarm and false commercial alarms are very expensive for the city of Montreal.
• There is no traffic, sufficient, in the studio to dissipate the smoke.
