Photography Tips
Studio A is best for daylight work – soft, diffused light comes through overhead skylights. For full control, activate the blackout system and bring your own strobes or rent light equipment directly through the booking tool. Studio B is ideal when you need complete darkness and a clean cyclorama look. The gallery level in Studio B gives you an elevated shooting angle that's hard to find elsewhere in Cologne.
