FAQ
Everything about booking, pricing, gear, memberships, and how a day at photospace works.
Yes. Hourly rentals are $100/hour with a two-hour minimum, the same rate 24/7 — no evening or weekend surcharge. Half-day (5 hours, $475) and full-day (10 hours, $895) blocks are available for longer productions, and recurring shoots can move onto a monthly membership at member rates.
Yes. The shooting floor is built for video as well as photo — continuous LED lighting, real sound dampening, a working cyclorama, a monitor lounge for clients and art directors, and a full kitchen for craft service. Most productions pair their own camera package with our lighting, grip, and tether station.
Every booking includes the full 2,400 ft² main level (1,900 ft² shooting floor), real cyclorama, a starter Rotolight NEO 3 3-light kit (RGBWW LED heads that work as both flash and continuous light), a working grip & stand package, tether station (Capture One, Lightroom, Phocus), backdrops, kitchen, make-up station, changing room, outdoor deck, free parking, and load-in ramp. Premium lighting, modifiers, cameras, and lenses — Phase One XF IQ4 150MP, Profoto B1X / B10X Plus / D2 / Pro8a kits, premium Canon / Nikon / Sony / Fuji bodies and lenses, plus on-call assistants and digital techs — are available on-site as add-ons at member-friendly rates.
Yes. Three monthly memberships — Spark (5 hrs/mo, $400), Creator (10 hrs/mo, $750), and Visionary (20 hrs/mo, $1,400) — give Denver photographers and videographers recurring access at member rates, plus discounted camera, lens, and lighting add-ons.
It's what the studio is built for. Brands including Nike, Under Armour, Oakley, New Balance, Amazon, Allstate, RH, the Denver Broncos, and Marie Claire have shot campaigns, editorials, and lookbooks on this floor. The space is sized and equipped for multi-look productions, agency teams, art-director-friendly client lounges, and full-day takeovers.
Absolutely. Most clients bring their own camera package and crew and use the studio for the space, lighting, grip, cyclorama, and tether station. There's no per-person fee for your team.
209 Kalamath St, Unit 1, Denver, CO 80223 — just off I-25 and minutes from downtown. The building has free parking, a load-in ramp, and an outdoor deck.
Book directly through the live availability scheduler on the booking page — pick your block, confirm, and the studio is yours. Shooting several days? Pick Multi-day, choose your date range, and it's self-booked at the flat daily rate (a Sat–Sun weekend counts as one day). Free 20-minute studio tours have their own simple scheduler at /tour if you'd like to walk the space first. For anything truly custom, request an estimate and we'll send a written quote.
A starter Rotolight NEO 3 3-light kit comes with every booking — three RGBWW LED heads that function as both flash and continuous light, with full RGB color — plus a working grip package, no setup fees, and the same rate 24/7 with no evening or weekend surcharge. Premium Profoto kits (B1X, B10X Plus, D2, Pro8a), additional continuous lighting, and lighting modifiers are available as on-site add-ons at member-friendly rates.
Yes. The studio is built for the full range of professional creative work — photographers, videographers, content creators, influencers, agencies, and in-house brand teams. The Creator membership in particular is built for recurring content output.
Reschedule or cancel up to 72 hours before your booking for a full credit on file. Inside 72 hours, the booking is non-refundable but rebookable for up to 60 days. Members get a more flexible window — full details are in the membership terms.
Yes. Free 20-minute studio tours run Monday–Saturday, 10am–6pm — schedule one at /tour with just your name, email, and phone. Walking the space before a campaign day is the smart move, and we recommend it.
Yes. To take equipment on location you register for a rental account once — a quick step that includes a driver's license scan, two business references, and either a certificate of insurance on file or a credit-card hold for the replacement value of the rental. Renting just the studio doesn't require this.
We rent on a 3-day rental week: three, four, five, six, and seven days are all billed as a single 3-day rental, so a full week costs the same as three days. Daily rates are listed on every category page, and longer or recurring rentals are quoted on request. Invoices are payable by card or ACH bank transfer and carry a payment-processing fee — 3% for card, 1% for ACH — shown as its own line item on the invoice before you pay.
Send your gear list (or a brief) and your shoot dates through the request-an-estimate form, and we'll confirm availability and send a written quote — usually the same business day. Estimates are free and open to anyone; a rental account is only needed once you're ready to take the gear out.
Yes. The gear-rental house is completely separate from the studio — pick up (or have delivered) cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, and production supplies and take them anywhere. No studio booking required.
Both. Pick up at the Kalamath St. shop Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm by appointment, or add the gear transport van at $225 per travel day — a travel day is each calendar day the van is on the road for your job, out and back. We don't ship, but we deliver anywhere within 500 miles of downtown Denver, and out-of-town crews can have gear staged on arrival. Pickup or return outside standard hours is a flat $175.
That's what your rental account covers — a certificate of insurance on file, or a credit-card hold for the replacement value of the gear. Bring everything back in good shape and the hold is released. If you're unsure about coverage, just ask before your shoot.
Yes. The studio rents as a private event venue for $1,125/day, 7:00am–midnight, for up to 40 people. You get everything a studio rental includes minus the photo/video gear — the full 2,400 ft² main level, working kitchen, lounge, outdoor deck, changing room, HVAC, WiFi, free street parking, and the load-in ramp, with keyless access through your event window. Event dates are arranged directly: send the date and headcount through the contact form or email hello@photospacedenver.com and we'll confirm it.
Everything a studio rental includes except the shoot-specific gear: the full 2,400 ft² main level, working kitchen and client lounge, lounge furniture and tables, outdoor deck, make-up station and changing room, controllable daylight (motorized blackout roller shades), 5-zone HVAC, WiFi, free street parking, and the load-in ramp. Lighting kits, the tether station, cyc-wall protocols, and gear add-ons stay with studio rentals — if your event includes a shoot, book a studio rental instead. Capacity is 40 people.
Easy — pick up Friday, return Monday morning, and it bills as a single 3-day rental. Both ends land inside our standard pickup window (Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm, by appointment), so there's no off-hours fee. If your schedule doesn't fit that window, off-hours pickup or return can be arranged for a fee.
Yes. If you're renting as an individual on the card-hold option, your two references don't have to be rental houses or production clients — personal or professional contacts who can vouch for you work fine. Register once, authorize a hold for the gear's replacement value on each rental (released on safe return), and you're set.
Yes. photospace rents the Phase One XF IQ4 150MP system — one of the only places in the Rocky Mountains to rent a full medium-format Phase One kit. The complete kit (XF body, IQ4 150MP digital back, 80mm Blue Ring lens, batteries, charger, tether, and cards) is $825/day, and the XF body, IQ4 digital back, and Schneider Kreuznach Blue Ring LS lenses can also be rented à la carte. Everything is billed on our 3-day rental week — three to seven days cost the same as three. Pick up at the Kalamath St. shop or have it delivered anywhere within 500 miles of Denver.
It's the highest-resolution professional camera system commercially available — a modular medium-format platform built from the Phase One XF body, the IQ4 150MP Infinity Platform digital back, and Schneider Kreuznach Blue Ring leaf-shutter lenses. The IQ4 150MP back has a 151-megapixel full-frame medium format CMOS sensor (53.4 × 40mm — about 2.5× the area of a full-frame 35mm sensor), up to 15 stops of dynamic range, ISO 50–25,600, and 16-bit IIQ RAW files, with Capture One running inside the back for a tethered studio workflow.
A new Phase One XF IQ4 150MP system runs roughly $52,000 for the body and back alone, and a working kit with several Blue Ring lenses easily exceeds $60,000. Renting puts that system on a single shoot — a fine-art landscape, an architecture or product campaign, an editorial, or an archival reproduction job — for a fraction of the cost, and lets you test-drive medium format before committing. photospace rents the complete kit for $825/day on a 3-day rental week.
Yes. photospace rents the full Profoto system across Denver and Colorado — from A10 on-camera speedlights and battery-powered B10X Plus and B1X monolights to D2 monolights and 2400-watt-second Pro-11 studio packs, plus the complete Profoto Light Shaping Tools modifier range and Air Remotes for Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm. Kits start at $65/day and everything is billed on our 3-day rental week (three to seven days cost the same as three). Pick up at the Kalamath St. shop in Denver or have it delivered anywhere within 500 miles — covering the Front Range, the mountains, and the wider Rocky Mountain region.
The full range: A10 on-camera flashes; battery monolights (B10X Plus 500Ws, B1/B1X 500Ws, B2 250Ws); the D2 AC monolight (1000Ws); and studio packs and heads (D4, Pro-7a, Pro-8a, and the Pro-11 2400Ws pack). Every kit ships with an Air Remote in a case. Beyond the strobes, we rent Profoto's Light Shaping Tools — OCF and RFi softboxes, beauty dishes, umbrellas, the Magnum reflector, grids, gels, and the Clic system — so you can build a complete lighting package from one shop.
Profoto is the industry standard for commercial, fashion, beauty, and portrait work for a reason: AirTTL gives you a correctly exposed first frame automatically, High-Speed Sync (HSS) syncs flash up to 1/8000s to overpower the sun and drop backgrounds, flash durations down to 1/80,000s freeze motion cleanly, recycling is fast enough for bursts up to 50 flashes per second on the Pro-11, and color stays consistent shot to shot. Paired with the largest light-shaping ecosystem in the industry, it's a system that gets the look on set instead of in post.
Individual heads start around $25/day and complete kits run from $65/day (A1 speedlight kit) to $275/day for the Pro-11 2400Ws two-head pack, with popular battery kits like the B10X Plus and B1X in between ($150–$175/day). Everything is billed on the 3-day rental week, so a full week costs the same as three days. Add-on modifiers and Air Remotes are priced separately on the catalog.
