Every so often I build a full themed set, bring in performers, and open the studio to photographers. Get on the list and you’ll hear about the next one first.
Two events, two very different sets.
Starfall's grand opening. Ten clown performers. Over 2,000 balloons filling a balloon pit with a dramatic red velvet curtain set. Photographers of all levels shot for ten straight hours with fully lit, fully equipped sets — nothing improvised, nothing half-done.
June 2026
Full plate armor. Chain mail. Real swords — studio lit. Knights from Seattle Knights suited up in authentic combat gear and spent a day being photographed. Three blocks, limited spots per block. The kind of portfolio-building shoot you simply cannot recreate anywhere else in Seattle.
"I shot as a model here for a 10 hour block shoot with rotating photographers, models, and costume changes. Jason seamlessly navigated between the many hats he was wearing that day — ensuring rotations were hit on time as well as all participants' comfort and creative freedoms. One open concept space but we easily had 2 separate sets being shot at a time. 10/10"
"As soon as we got there it smelt of fresh baked cookies and music was playing. It was such a welcoming atmosphere that all my nerves about the photoshoot seemed to melt away. I will definitely be telling my friends and others about Starfall Studios. 10 out of 5 stars!"
"I've been to two photo events at Starfall studio and both were a slam dunk. One event was an action packed photo & video shoot with many people, music, food and even dancing. Jason was an incredible host, accommodating the needs of everyone. Far and away above other studios because of the high quality props, equipment and amenities."
These aren't meetups with a borrowed backdrop. Every Starfall event is a fully designed creative experience.
Every event starts with a vision — a theme, a performer, an aesthetic you can't rent on your own. I build the entire thing around a creative idea so the photos are worth showing.
Portfolio shots that stand outNo warehouse raves. Spots are limited by design — so every attendee gets real access to the set, the subjects, and the light. You're not fighting for position all day.
Actual shooting time, not waiting timeJason handles logistics, manages rotations, and is available the whole event. Beginners and experienced shooters both leave with images they're proud of.
On-the-spot guidance when you want itEvery event runs with professional lighting, backdrops, and props already in place. You show up, you shoot. No hauling gear, no borrowing stands, no improvising.
Everything ready before you arriveA stocked drink bar, music that fits the vibe, and a space that feels good to walk into. It matters. I think about all of it.
A space that actually feels good to be inClowns, armored medieval knights, fire performers — subjects who are professionals at what they do and know how to work with a camera. Collaborations I build specifically for the event.
