Boa Studios' Studio 12, what we are now calling "Studio A" , established in 1999, is Toronto's answer to a truly professional space at a reasonable price, that has everything you need from a medium-sized daily and weekly photo, video, and film day rental studio. It includes many extras not normally found in studios at this reasonable price, and some not found in other Toronto rental studios, no matter what the day rate is. Check out photos, regular rates, and discount rates, and special offers.
If you need an additional, smaller space, or when Studio A is already booked, Studio C across the hall is available through us, with a full kitchen. It makes a great compliment to the main studio, for extra wardrobe, makeup, waiting / greenroom, or small food shoots.
Studio E has the best daylight, with direct sunlight optionally diffused through shears, giving a natural light exposure of 1/125s f5.6 at ISO 400, and is a great choice for product, food, headshots, or portraits. Often it is used as a set, with its modern, clean lines, and selection of furniture.
Studio A is well suited for tabletop, small set, portraits, beauty, and fashion and projects not requiring drive-in access, or elevators. This 1100 sq. ft. studio (24' x 38' shooting area) has a pro-grade 20 ft. wide cyclorama (cove) has a 5 ft. radius, ensuring smooth, gradual light falloff. A seamless white floor, extending from the cyc, can be accessed by upgrading, and sliding away one or both protective panels. The cove floor length is 20' , with a 33' shooting distance to cove wall. The 13-ft. pure white ceiling, suitable for bouncing lights for an even overall fill light, has a steel truss design that can easily accommodate grids and prop rigging. The dual station make-up area has mirrors that surround your subject, so the subjects can see themselves from all angles at once. The ultra-bright 5000°K bubble lights provide even illumination for critical makeup application. This same lighting throughout the entire studio ensures bright, color accurate illumination for setup, styling, and strike. Alternately, dimming halogen lighting can be used for working around any sets that require previewing lighting.
