03 Interior Features
All of our vintage furniture within the vignettes have been curated by Miller Island. Each piece within the space has been mindfully selected and carefully placed with the best lighting and backdrop in mind.
We hope that our space feels like a destination. Our minimal, 80’s Florida sunroom style with a hint of art deco will feel like a mini escape. You can use the curtain room dividers to create movable textures and stunning backdrops. Our 14ft ceilings with staircase offer many settings for creatives. Each corner of the studio has a storied design that is versatile.
Lighting and Backdrops: Please make use of our white walls and sun washed space. With our south facing windows you will have the best natural light and shadows for photos. We have added extra fabrics, paintings and textures in the room to use as backdrops.
Photography Essentials: Natural light and overhead lighting. Sheer curtains and fabric curtain room divider to control light in the space. Clothing rack, hand steamer.
Temperature: The space is air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. The space is always a comfortable climate.
Props: Please use any props you see within our space, if you do move them from the original place, please return to them once you are finished.
