SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA RENTAL PHOTO STUDIO

Large, stylish, comfortable, and located in secretly convenient Vallejo, our studio boasts copious gated parking, ground level quiet-street access, and stress-free reverse commutes for your team and talent. Come experience why our clients call us the best kept secret in the Bay Area photo industry!

  • PRODUCTION SPACE

  • EASY ROLL-UP DOOR ACCESS

  • TWO VERSATILE VOLUMES

  • READY FOR YOUR SHOOT!

Directly adjacent to our set construction and fabrication shop, Drop Works offers the Bay Area a 4500 sq.ft. photo studio available for commercial photo shoots and video productions of any size and duration. With our additional 1500 sq.ft. of well-equipped ancillary rooms just off the production area, it’s a breeze for all members of your team to ready your talent and/or work privately away from the lighting and sound controls in the main production space. All studio rentals include full exclusive use of our wide range of supporting spaces including kitchen, lounge, conference, wardrobe, office, and hair/makeup rooms, all conveniently clustered along a single hallway (at ground level) and easily accessible from the main studio.

Our photo studio comes equipped with motorized blackout shades, allowing our clients to control the amount of natural light as needed.

Need a large, flat, private & secure outdoor shooting space for your production? No problem! We also offer over 9000 square feet of paved, fenced, and gated private yard space for outdoor shoots or large vehicle and truck parking.

Many of our clients find that with on-demand access to our onsite set shop and staff, they can reduce costs while having all of their fabrication and set modification needs flexibly met with ease during all phases of production.

At just 25 minutes away from the Bay Bridge (and back again later) during normal commute times, our location in southern Vallejo is surprisingly easy and stress-free to reach. With our copious private gated lots, and never-the-need for parking permits, any pre-conceived skepticism about our relative proximity is quickly washed away permanently. Downtown Vallejo, Mare Island, the Vallejo Ferry Terminal, and I-80 access are all within a mile and just minutes from Drop Works.

We look forward to the opportunity to host your shoot here at Drop Works!

LOCATION / PARKING

Our S.F.

Our two large, gated parking lots can handle off-street parking for large trucks and up to 20 cars . Grip and merch trucks can park all day on the extra-wide sidewalk just outside our two roll-up doors.

LOAD-IN

Load-in and load-out is seamless with our two street level 14'x14’ roll-up doors. Grip/merch/prop trucks can drive right into the studio to unload, and park all day on the extra-wide sidewalk in front of the roll-up doors for easy access. If required, a forklift and operator are always available onsite.

CONFERENCE

A private space perfect for focused work, taking calls, and holding meetings. The office comes equipped with 2 large desks, an air printer and fiber optic WiFi.

The conference room directly across the hall provides a flexible space for larger meetings or group lunches.

LOUNGE / HAIR & MAKEUP

Adjacent to the production area, our lounge comes equipped with comfortable seating and decor, connection to the studio-wide bluetooth sound system and fiber optic wifi.

Just down the hall is a dedicated hair and makeup room with seating, mirrors, ample lighting, and counter space.

A separate, multi-purpose wardrobe/green room with curtained dressing area is next door.

KITCHEN / BAR DINING

Drop Works Studio’s kitchen is perfect for taking lunch, catering set-up and food/drink storage.

This multi-purpose space has an industrial-sized refrigerator/freezer combo, microwave, espresso & coffee maker, filtered hot and cold water, as well as plenty of seated counter space and storage.

PRODUCTION SPACE

4500 sq. ft. of open studio space with 14ft. minimum clearance under the trusses, and 20 ft. between them. Support for set ceilings and/or photography and video lights is provided by moveable wooden I-beams.

The production area can be divided into two separate shooting spaces with our blackout curtains, or one side kept lit for staging and the other kept dark for strobes. A scissor lift is also available for high rigging.
