FD is one of my favorite studios to shoot at in LA. I just got done shooting in Art 3, and I love the updates they made to it compared to the last time I saw it in there. The girl working the desk (I forget her name) was really sweet. When one of the lights wasn't working, she got me a new one and gave us extra time. When I need a gels, she loaned me some that they have on hand for customers. My photos came out gorgeous. Everything went great. Will definitely be back again. And again.

Lots of light softly filtered through sheers

Absolutely perfect experience at a price you can afford. The face of photography is changing and FD Studio is such a smart solution to capture those special moments without the help of a so called, "professional photgrapher". With everything included all you need to bring is your subject and your camera. Well lit makeup table, lots of outlets and extension cords, seating, a private dressing area, fans, lights, triggers, props, all included! They even have a rooftop with skyline views, gorgeous! Bring water and park for $7 on Santee. Even a novice can do this, do yourself a favor and check this place out for a couple of hours just to see what you can do. The nice lighting and backdrops will do your holiday photos some justice, you are beautiful, let's see it!

First time using the art stages but have been using FD for the longest. Always clean & professional! Did my last shoot of the year , I wish I could share all the pictures but it's too many so these are my favorites:)

I really can't say enough about FD Photo Studios...you really get your bang for your buck. The Art studios are beautiful and very affordable. I have shoot there a lot over the last 2 years and use them as my go to studio in DTLA. You are looking at about $45 an hour -that includes 3 strobes with a trigger...you get 3 backgrounds (black, grey or white) all for that price, but if you want to color backgrounds -add $20 - There are 4 studios plus an awesome roof to choice from. The Art Studios also have great windows for that natural light look. And the view from the roof is very urban- No matter what level you are at- if you want to get better-this studio is your canvas...Now go create something beautiful- Also- the employees are all very cool and knowledgeable- You do need to call about a week in advance to reserve a studio...oh and no deposit required ~ Love it there.

This studio has never failed to impress! I've been a proud client of FD Phot Studio for years, and it is impossible for a shoot to not go smoothly here. From extremely helpful staff (helping me make my reservation, answering emails within the hour regarding any questions or concerns I may have, and calling/emailing to me remind me of my reservation), to gorgeous stages (hard wood floors, beautiful wall displays of flowers, rain rooms, and MANY others), I could not recommend this studio enough. Thank you FD for always providing the best service in the photo industry I have ever experienced. Thank you!

I have used FD Studios numerous times and they never disappoint. They have numerous very good props, the sets are always clean and well lit, and the service from the employees is always fantastic. There really isn't a need to look anywhere else in my opinion. They have everything you could want between all of their sets.

Shot here the other evening and the spaces were so dope. Very friendly staff who were always available to help when I had questions. I shot in Studio F which is a perfect size if you're shooting on a backdrop. They also have a Bluetooth speaker in the rooms which is perfect in case you forgot to bring one!

I have been coming to the FD Photo Studio Art Stages for the past year now and I have had amazing success with my shoots every time in all 4 of the stages! The lighting is always so bright and even making it so easy to get beautiful photos, and the shadow play during golden hour is beyond!! For how much space, and the unique quality you get very ever stage, the hourly prices for the studios you just can't beat! So worth it! I also recommend the Art stages to my model and photographer friends that are looking for affordability and easy access on short notice! It's so easy and quick to just book online within minutes! That is also why I love using FD Photo Studio so much! As long as I'm in LA I will be using the Art stages :) FD Team member to mention * Brandon !

And yes, I will sound prissy in some of my reasons. I am a huge priss. Can't say that I like that about myself! Pros 1. Beautiful lofts, with upstairs loft space. (Not just a big box.) 2. Brick walls and exposed pipes. Gorgeous! 3. Laundry w/in units. 4. Good sized pool compared to others we've seen in DTLA. 5. Nicely designed community areas. 6. Easy access to parking. Parking price included in rent. 7. Easy access to mailboxes. 8. Amazing gym, as the owner is a personal trainer. 9. Almost built a restaurant/market on-site. Wish that went through. It may still.. may still? 10. Urth Caffe right around the corner. 11. Gun Range next door! 12. Overall great artsy feeling. 13. Anthony. Insert Shout out to Anthony - He's the man who showed us around. He's amazing. He in himself was a huge selling point! We also got to meet the owner. Nice small community/neighborhood feel. Cons for me 1. Didn't really see many people in walking around the place. It was a Saturday afternoon and no one was using the pool or the community area. Made me feel lonely. 2. Really quiet community. 3. Views outside of windows aren't that great. 4. Didn't like driving up to the place. In the factory part of DTLA. Seems cool, but it felt lonely to me. 5. Refrigerators not provided. (small thing. really.) 6. Kind of pricey for what you get. (but I could also say that for all the lofts we've seen.) 7. Even though it's really not that far from DTLA and Little Tokyo, it seemed like it was.

They take care of the buildings and are on your side, a lot of people stay there for many years and I'm sure the management is a big part of that. The place is quiet and people who live there are nice and friendly. I worked from home and found it perfect for me. The area is great and getting better, never felt like the neighborhood was bad, and the secure parking is huge in downtown.

Born to do art, forced to write emails...I know I've been saying this a lot (especially w/all the…read moregreat businesses I've found lately), but seriously I'm so happy this place exists. ARTime BARRO is part pottery studio, part community space, and is a relaxing, chill place where you can unleash the creativity you thought was dead, where your artistic spirit gets to come out to play, if only for just a little bit of time in this crazy world. On a recent weekend, I had the opportunity to take the One-Time Class, which is a one-hour course designed for complete beginners. You get to make two pieces, one by hand at the table and one on the pottery wheel. The class size was small (just 5 people) and we got great 1:1 instruction and guidance from our knowledgeable instructor Max. I've always wanted to try the wheel and was surprised how hard it was to use it but it was such a great experience that I think everyone should try at least once. After you sculpt your pieces, you are invited to come back to hand paint (glaze) your work at no additional cost. You can also have them do a one-color glaze for you, but after I saw all the multi-colored pieces of other folks previous to me, it was no contest to decide that I wanted to color my pieces myself. You have up to 3 months to come back to glaze so it's very doable in anyone's busy LA (corporate) lifestyle. Pricing was very reasonable for such a cool bespoke experience. There are a lot of pottery painting studios (e.g. Color Me Mine) but this is awesome bc you get to make the pottery AND color it later! I've already recommended this place to countless people!

My friends and I were looking for a beginner pottery class and found this place through Groupon. We…read moreattended the one-time class, which was a nice introduction to pottery. Our instructor was friendly and gave clear directions on how to mold our pieces. We each made 2 pieces, so the one hour really flew by. We had the option to come back to glaze our pieces or have the studio glaze them for us, and opted for the latter. There's a small lot behind the building, but it was full when I went. It wasn't difficult to find free street parking on a Sunday evening in this area. The pottery pieces could use a bit of extra care in handling (my wheel-thrown piece had rough edges and a random piece stuck on that wasn't there initially, and the glazing didn't look thorough on my other piece), but overall I was happy with my pieces. This was a fun experience, and worth the value!

I've had minimal user error with the free printer that is provided and I enjoy being able to look out and see Pasadena City Hall from afar. Furthermore, the staff have been supportive, energetic and happy to help me whenever I have questions. For that matter Jeremy is THE MAN! Always helpful and always able to solve my issues. I'm very thankful that I decided to move away from working at home and start work at FoundrSpace. Because I really need home to be home and a place to work to feel more like work than a room in my home. I don't think that people have figured that out yet, but I know they will soon and I hope they find this review and find their new work office at FoundrSpace. Anyway, I plan to be here for quite some time, and I look forward to new neighbors that are focused on their businesses and ventures. I just wanted to let others know that this is the place for me and I know it's going to be a great place for more entrepreneurs, start ups and businesses too. Seriously if anybody has any questions, feel free to reach out to me and I'd be happy to answer.

If you didn't know her work, it's the most fun, colorful and happy art at the intersection of Impressionism, portals and optical illusion, where you squint your eyes and each segment of color is like a pixel in a tapestry of interwoven color and texture. The vibe was amazing ing and I just had to go see this art and support this artist. I arrived and found an entire treasure trove of fascinating art by dozens of artists. Each style is unique and well worth coming by. Imagine walking through a museum of the most amazing only talented artists and all the art is for sale. I bought two pieces. One of Shiri's of course. The art is reasonably priced and there are many different sizes. I highly recommend Artspace Warehouse for some of the best talent in the L.A. art world. The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful and full of knowledge about each and every artist, the types of art and our chats were so chill- no pretentious vibes here. Just joy. This was really a thrill to see locals, families choosing art for their homes, and people like me who came a bit of a distance to share the art experience here.
