Working on a project and need a professional studio space to bring it to life? Curious about our facilities? Student and Educator Members are invited to reserve a spot at Open Studios, a half-day session in Penumbra's Highlight Studios on Friday, August 8th. 

An authentic north-light studio located on the top floor of Penumbra Foundation, Highlight Studios is built to optimal specifications established in the 1850s, beloved by photography icons Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. The space has a sloped, north-facing wall of non-UV-coated windows, allowing for continuous soft light throughout the day.

• Sessions are half-day time slots: There are three available morning slots (10am - 1:30pm) and three available afternoon slots (2 - 5:30pm). Sessions include required setup and breakdown time.

• Individuals must bring their own cameras. See the list of available equipment below.

• Sessions are self-guided, but our Studio Manager will be on hand to answer questions about the space and materials.

• Members can bring up to 3 models or guests. Please include the number and names of plus-ones on the booking form.

• Learn more about Highlight Studios here.

*This event is free and reserved for Student & Educator Members only.
