SNAP Foto studio is located downtown on historic Stephen Avenue in Calgary AB. The studio has 4000 sq. ft. of shooting space for rent. Semi-Private rentals (Nova and Kitty) are segregated sections of the full studio and are ideal for photographers/videographers who shoot against seamless paper or traditional backdrops, but also need some fun props and scenes. The minimum booking on Nova and Kitty is a half day, studio Dino and the full studio can be booked hourly. Studio Dino is perfect for head shots, portraits, and other traditional photo sessions and comes with some limited props and furniture. The studios are named after our beloved pets.
If you would like to make use of all of the fun backdrops, props, and furniture that SNAP Foto studio has to offer, booking Nova & Kitty or the full studio is your best bet. Full studio bookings are fully private and can be booked hourly. Your booking includes props like a clawfoot bathtub, beautiful chairs, sofas, a chaise lounge, flowers, rose petals, unique and custom backdrops, the list of props is endless. In addition, full studio bookings allow you to customize the space to your liking.
As a means to foster and support artists, photographers, and videographers, SNAP Foto offers full studio bookings as a cut-rate after hours special. This means you can rent the entire studio at 50% of rental fees for half day and full day rentals. After hours bookings must be booked at studio closing time.
If you don’t need privacy, and/or you don’t need to shoot against a seamless backdrop you can use the studio in a shared capacity, check out the SNAP Foto Club website for tickets.
All shooting spaces at the studio have access to the SNAP Foto Cafe which has refreshments, drinks, and alcohol for after your session.
