What can you shoot in a photo studio rental in Austin like Glitz?

Pretty much anything that wants color. The Glitz Society studio at 1405 Chestnut Ave rents to photographers, brands, bands, makers and content creators by the hour or the day. You get the space and access to a prop collection built from years of editorial and festival sets, with art direction and styling as an add-on.

Three ways to book

Pick the level of help you want:

  • Just the space. Bring your crew, your lights and your idea.
  • Space plus props. Pull from the Glitz collection of headpieces, sculptures and oddities.
  • The full dreamscape. Jillian designs and builds the set and styles the shoot. You show up and press the button.

Events and installations

The studio also works as a set for installations, launches and small events. From prototype to production, the crew can build the whole world your event lives in.
