My God what a rude reply I got for my "Inquiry"…read more I am in a rush for a photo shoot so I asked if they have anything available for the next day after 5. I got a rude response email saying "I can't help you based on your Inquiry- you haven't provided enough information." Then proceeds to tell me what they do but that they have no availability regardless of my Inquiry. Last they give me instructions (as if I am dumb) on how to book their services and to send the appropriate booking information. NO THANKS! It was just a question do you have anything available after 5. Say no if there is nothing available like you said regardless their was nothing. Straight rude!

This "rental photo studio" may be the cheapest in town but there is a saying that is true in nearly…read moreall cases: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. First this "photo studio" is a total dump and it is also in a very scary crack infested ghetto neighborhood in Long Beach. I wouldnt have my worst enemy walk around that neighborhood. You really have to lock your car in this non-safe neigborhood and thats on a Sunday morning!! Like the previous reviewer said, the studio manager is rude and totally amateur, and trys to embarrass you in front of your client if you sit on her furniture or move any of her stuff. But thats only the beginning. This place looks like its had one too many parties/raves. Only the CHEAPEST studio lights are used at this "photo studio". The studio lights used are entry level Alien Bees. I personally hate Alien Bees although Einsteins/White Lighting from Paul Buff are OK. Its bad enough Alien Bees are used which are made of cheap plastic, non-color temp consistant and tend to break with heavy light modifiers...but when its been used and abused without replacement and you are trying to give the best photo possible...its time to look for new photo studio rental . I have rented at pro- photo studios and none that I am aware of use Alien Bees. The studios I rent at use professional studio strobes like Profoto pack and heads.YES its more expensive but the quality of light is so much better. Only go here if you are in a pinch and desperately need a place to shoot but truely you are better off buying your own studio strobe lights and finding a place to shoot or pony up a little more rental cash (you can pass it on to your client who will rather pay extra for higher quality photos) and rent at a pro photo studio.

This guy was amazing…read more He was super patient, very helpful, very knowledgeable about troubleshooting during our mix session and an overall a calm presence during, what could be a stressful experience. He worked very fast but didn't rush us at all. He went far and beyond all of our expectations that were accumulated from past recording experiences at other studios. The studio itself is so nice and feels very comfortable and inviting. It's the kind of place that you want to hang out in. Very cool vibe . Super clean and while you're recording it puts you in a creative place. I would absolutely recommend Big Ego studios. Our EP sounds great and my band is very blown away by how awesome the experience was. Tristen is the man! Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Recording at Big Ego was a game changer for me- having the opportunity to work with an incredible producer and musicians who made me feel like part of the family raised the creative and professional bar for me. Forever grateful for Big Ego!

The studio owner and recording engineer is highly knowledgable and friendly. The studio staff are all very helpful and organized. Everybody really cares about their craft. The space itself is beautifully built and invites creativity. The atmosphere is relaxed but professional. There are several rooms for recording. As a drummer, most of my time is spent in the main room. The Hear No Evil team sets up sessions quickly while maintaining a positive atmosphere. My recording process has always gone smoothly. There are a wide range of instruments, microphones, and amps to choose from and the staff will help recommend what to use for the best result. If it's a longer session, there is a microwave and fridge to heat/store some food. Parking is on-site, free, and abundant. I give Hear No Evil my highest recommendation!

As an artist paying for studio time, that's incredibly distracting and disrespectful. I did not feel valued as a client. After leaving, I was repeatedly asked to rebook, instead of being asked how the session went. Bad vibes kill creativity. I would never go back. UPDATED Feb 1-11:24pm After leaving this review, the owner Elliot messaged me AGAIN on Instagram. Took zero accountability and only cares about his image. NOT the client. To address your comment, I asked for a discount, cuz your interns run the session. As Indie artists we have to fight to protect a space we paid for. Often times we don't have other options in the area so we suck it up, but no more! This is not a good studio. I would not go back. Look at how he responds to feedback...
