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.

(i'll post the pics). it was kinda scary but kinda cool. not sure if i'd go back here again tho.

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.
