Studio Room 2 - Going-to-the-Sun
A slightly larger, more versatile space built for photographers and videographers who want options. This room includes:
Both fabric + seamless paper backdrops for different creative looks
A more spacious layout for product shoots, branding sessions, and commercial work
The flexibility to create clean, polished images or dynamic, textured setups
Studio Room 2 - Going-to-the-Sun is slightly larger than Studio Room 1 - Alpine Glow and offers both fabric and seamless paper backdrops, making it a great option for branding, product, and editorial-style shoots. However, this space is darker than Studio Room 1, so if you prefer working with natural light and aren’t comfortable using flash or artificial lighting, Studio Room 1 - Alpine Glow may be a better fit.
