Good. So did everyone else.

The space is 1,137 square feet with 14-foot ceilings, a full kitchen, and a private bathroom — plenty of room for full production setups including lighting rigs, backdrops, and multiple subjects. It's designed to be flexible and reconfigurable to fit a wide range of projects.

Every rental includes the full studio space, professional lighting, onsite assistance, all available set pieces, and complimentary WiFi. Lighting includes 3× 300W Neewer RGB continuous lights, umbrella and lantern diffusers, a snoot/gobo set, RGB accent lights, 3× C-stands, a Neewer wall-mounted boom arm — mounted at 9 ft, arm extends up to 70.8 in (180cm), and a projector. Backdrops include a 20' modular textured system in black and white, plus seamless rolls in ultramarine, grey, white, black, sky blue, pink, and canary yellow. Bluetooth audio and a client review monitor are also on site. You're welcome to bring and use your own gear.

Yes — seamless backdrop paper is complimentary with every rental. If paper gets soiled, torn, or used beyond normal wear during your session, there’s a $1 per foot charge for the portion that needs to be replaced.

All studio equipment is included for on-site use only. If anything is damaged due to negligence or misuse during your session, you're responsible for the cost of repair or replacement. Accidents happen — just tell me and I'll sort it out.

No. The studio rental is space and gear only — post-production is handled by you or your team. If you booked Jason directly as your photographer or videographer, editing is included in that scope; see the Services page for details.

Yes. All content created during your rental is yours to use commercially. I don't claim any rights to work produced in the studio.

I offer professional headshots, family portraits, team and business photography, and brand and content creation. On the video side, I cover brand promos, social reels, and podcast recording — all video projects are custom-scoped. See the Services page for full details, or reach out if you don't see what you need.

Headshot sessions are delivered within 48 hours. For everything else, standard turnaround is 5 business days from your session date. Final images are delivered via a private online gallery. Video files are delivered via Google Drive or a similar link. Rush delivery may be available — reach out to ask.

Not through Starfall — every Starfall session happens here at the studio. On-location work (offices, venues, events) is booked separately through Jason Surh Media; email me and I’ll point you the right way.

Bring the team to the studio. Each person gets 10–15 minutes with consistent lighting and background, so there's minimal disruption to the workday. You coordinate the calendar, I handle the rest.
