The shop is always closed! It shows as open on the app, but every time I visit, the shop is closed. It's really inconvenient -- please update your hours so customers don't waste their time coming here. read more

Amazing host! Felt welcomed and felt comfortable instantly. Gave really good direction. Got some really great headshots

The facility is great !! Have rented their studio for several photo shoots over the years and I have always had the pleasure to walk into a clean studio with lights and an attached green room. My clients need the green room for costume changes and have had nothing but praises. A little bit about the management, Richard is one of the nicest guys out there and has your back all the time. Very responsive to txts and has an able staff too ! read more

I booked this location for a film shoot for a client. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We were able to set up and complete our shoot quickly and efficiently. It's a great place, really clean, with high-quality equipment. Will definitely book again read more

Loved it! The studio includes props, lightings, drinks and beer! The staff (DAVE) is a super cool guy! It also includes a bathroom, separate room for makeup and wardrobe change, a large screen t.v. so it could be hooked up to the cam for instant viewing and my favorite has gotta be the random dummy with the Ray Charles cap hidden in the back. LoL It gave me a jump, and then i ended up taking a bunch of joke pics with it. And last but not least, the price is a steal! Literally! He provides so much for so little! What better way to keep your customers coming again and again?! That's what I call a suave businessman =D read more

Such a wonderful studio!! Richard is amazing and provides an amazing service! There is a dressing room with coffee and water provided and a personal rest room. We will definitely be coming back! Such a fun time! Thank you Richard!!! We had the time of our life! read more

Richard's studio space has everything you need for a photo or video shoot, and you could have a larger group come in if needed. It's very spacious. It was a fun environment with the music system and green room area. The a/c was also a plus. Richard is easy to communicate with and always willing to help. If you're thinking about renting this space, just do it! read more

Richard is a great guy to work with! The studio was super clean, everything was set up on time, and photos came out really good. Highly Recommend read more

Great for stills, good for video. DK3 is now under new management and having rented the studio from both owners, let me start by saying while Dave was a fantastic guy, Richard is really driven to put DK3 on the map. Sure, during the transition there was a loss of communication, but now that the doors are back open, the studio looks better than ever. Completely cleaned out and freshened up, the new DK3 is a joy to shoot in, and just as friendly and flexible as they've always been. The rates may have gone up a touch, but for what you get, it's still one of the best prices in all of San Diego. My only complaint is its proximity to Miramar Naval Air Station, which can cause problems if you're recording audio during the day. Looking forward to many more shoots at DK3 Studios. read more

See all

Amazing studio. Very friendly, easy to work with, professional space, comfortable space. Lots of room and very happy with this space. Highly Recommended! -farzan read more

Awesome place. Online booking is easy, I've used dk3 a few times now. One time, I had to cancel, and promptly received a refund for the payment. The owner (David King) is very professional and stays out of the way unless you need him. We accidentally tripped the cyclo-curve-proximity alarm several times and he cheerfully shut it off. Great sound system and also quiet if you need to shoot video with audio. He also has lots of great equipment you can use, including lights and a chromatte system for perfect keying. Very convenient, quiet location with plenty of parking. read more

My experience shooting here was awesome! The studio is great and the customer service is amazing. I would definitely come back and I highly recommend it!! read more

Dave and his studio rocks! $25/hr + rates, great add ons, he lets you use all the props in the studio. read more

Dk3 studio Is a great studio to rent for photo shots. I used dk3 many times for maternity shoot, born and head shoots. His prices are great and what I like most is the it comes With all the lighting you need So you do not have to bring any lighting kit your camera and stray shooting. The on line booking is great too makes it easy to book a session without making any phone calls to find out shat times are available. I will keep on renting from dk3 and send my friends here too. read more

I met with the owner and did the tour of the studio and I am more than impressed! The dressing room for the models is the best I have ever seen and there is room for 4 models and the help to work together. There is a top of the line music sound system to set the mood and the atmosphere is totally creatable and can be made up for whatever the job requires. I have already established a working relationship with Dave and some of his partners, make up artist, hairdressers and the like for future shoots! Looking forward to getting busy. Dan read more

Great studio, super fun and great energy. I got great pictures & had so much fun with the team! Also had a lot of cool chairs and back drops to make for some sick pictures. read more

Fantastic experience with this place. Such an amazing quality studio at an affordable rate. Richard and Michael were a pleasure to work with ( I was solo shooting and Michael used his own time to help me out in the studio with the video work). Great place all around and would highly recommend to any content creators. I'll definitely be going back. read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. The space itself is beautiful for photo and video shoots with nice amenities and the perfect backdrop. Richard was so kind as to offer me everything I needed from tools to advice to help me bring my creative vision to life! I am so so grateful I came across this studio. If you're in San Diego and have any sort of project in mind - this is your spot. read more

Dk3 Studios is under new management and I was incredibly pleased with my recent experience with Richard. He adjusted his own schedule to accommodate my very last minute booking. The space has been cleaned and re-organized, making it much more functional. The cyclorama wall worked perfectly for dance portraits. Fantastic experience. I will most definitely be returning soon! read more

Really like this place!! Dave is a free spirited but professional owner. He knows how to treat people and your business feels appreciated when you are there. I've been there several times and will be going back in the future. DK3 has tons of lighting equipment (ring flash, soft boxes, poket wizards, etc.) He has a large monitor to see the photos in detail. Also has a great sound system to jam with during your session. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Solid studio. Great price and the owner is super chill. We will be back for sure! He even let us use his lighting and props.

I have been producing a documentary for 2 years now and when we need a studio I reach out to Richard and book at Dk3. Knowledgeable about the industry and not just a space. read more

I'm a hobbyist photographer and booked time at dk3 studios for the first time on Sunday, January 16th, 2012. Both my model and I had a fantastic time. He sets a great mood, with cool music playing and fun lights, and all of the lights, props, and furniture he has are available for use. We ended up using two different guitars and a wicker chair, and we considered using a fold-up white leather sofa (we still might use it next time we're there), all of which were provided. Dave, the owner/manager, is a great guy, really fun to talk to, really laid back, but extremely professional. He made the whole process as smooth as silk so that all I and my model had to think about was how to make good photographs. The fact that the rates are so affordable is icing on the cake. I will definitely use this studio again. read more

I had the pleasure today of shooting at Dk3 Studios. Richard was super easy to work with and incredibly professional. The space itself was more than I could have asked for. Being able to use the lighting equipment was an absolute game changer. There was enough space to spread out gear and work comfortably. There was even a room for my model to change which made a huge difference in efficiency with the shoot. Overall I was very pleased with the studio and I will definitely return in the near future! read more

As a photographer, it's so important that a studio I work in is clean, has the right equipment and with good service. These kinds of studios are hard to come by. This place was so amazing! Richard the owner couldn't be more professional and accommodating. The place was big with plenty of equipment. I'm definitely going to use this place a lot. Thank you! read more

Outstanding space including dressing room for models, sturdy tables for the laying out gear, climate control, and a bathroom. It has an infinity wall which is great for high key photography. Studio lighting, strobes and c-light stands are included, allowing you to maximize your time shooting. The layout allowed me to efficiently cycle through a shoot with four models with multiple costume changes. Richard, the owner is helpful and extremely knowledgeable and experienced with both video and still photography. A great overall experience. This is my #1 photography studio of choice in San Diego. read more

Dk3studios had the absolute best service and were super fun to work with. They were so flexible with us during our photo shoot and went above and beyond to help us out whenever needed. I 100% recommend this place!! read more

Canceled on us less than 24 hours prior to a shoot. When I called, he hung up the phone and wouldn't return calls. You get what you pay for in this business. read more

Overall experience was good. David King was nice. The studio was nice; however, you really had to set up a good frame or else you much get some of the things that are pushed away as a storage area in your frame. I had a little difficulty with the lighting but it all worked out in the end. David gave me a few pointers which was very helpful. I booked my session for 4 hours but finished and moved out in 3. I did lose out on an hour of paid time that is not refundable. One thing that would be nice is when I initially booked the studio session, I booked from 12:30 to 4:30. Then I had to reschedule the time block due to my makeup artist not being available. I then wanted to just have my session from 1:30 to 4:30 but I was told that once you book for a certain amount of time you cannot decrease your time. You can only move your time block to another time block or day. So keep in mind if you are unsure of how much time you will need, it's probably best to book for the least amount of time and you can always add time before you appointment day if scheduling permits. In a nutshell it's best to know exactly how much time you will require. read more

Everything went smoothly. Rich helped us out a lot to get started. Highly recommend this studio.

I was working on set at this Studio, I have to say great set up, easy access, and the staff.... Very personal.. Loved it!

Used DK3 studios today for a corporate video shoot. Dave, the owner is very nice, accommodating and personally is concerned you're happy with his studio. DK3 also has a nice selection of LED lights, soft boxes, and stones to use for no additional price which is a nice perk. Very recommended... read more

Love this place. Its comfortable and accommodating. Just bring a camera and a model. They have everything you need to shoot. Thanks dave for makin it easy! read more

Richard, the owner was very knowledgeable and helpful! We just started a fitness clothing brand and he offered tons of advice and went out of his way to make sure we were getting the shots we wanted. Thank you Dk3 studios! We will definitely be using this studio again and we recommend it to anyone one! read more

My company, Acorn Interactive, has done several photo and video shoots at the studio and Dave has always been a pleasure to work with. Lots of great lighting and equipment, a good dressing room and excellent rates. DK3 will always be our first choice for Studio shoots. read more
