The Mayer Studio COVID-19 Safety Plan

We ask that everyone follows these measures (as per the BC Centre for Disease Control & WorkSafeBC):

The following cannot enter studio:
- Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 10 days including fever, chills, new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, and new muscle aches or headache
- Anyone directed by Public Health to self-isolate
- Anyone who has arrived from outside of Canada or who has had contact with a confirmed COVID-19 must self-isolate for 14 days

At the studio please:
- Wash your hands upon your arrival
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
- Cover your cough or sneeze
- Keep a 6 foot distance between everyone at all times

The studio has enough space to ensure a 6-foot distance between people. We also have a 42-inch screen with a 12-foot HDMI cable to plug into your laptop. This way your client and team can view the photos while maintaining their distance from the photographer.

We ask that the kitchen not be used during a shoot. If you need the kitchen a single designated person should be the only person using it. Please let us know if you do use the kitchen so that it can be cleaned thoroughly. It is recommended that all food and drink should not be shared in any way. Consider having all individuals bring their own food and drink to reduce the risk of contamination.

As part of our precautions we now have a mandatory cleaning COVID-19 fee of $100 to allow for increased cleaning of high touch surfaces in the studio. We ask that the studio be returned to the way that you found it, otherwise subject to our usual cleaning fee of an additional $150.

As photographers ourselves, we know first hand how hard it can be to rent a studio space at a reasonable rate in Vancouver. So we want to share our studio with other Vancouver creatives with hourly and daily rentals for photoshoots and workshops.

- Ceiling height of 14.5 feet between the rafters and 11.5 feet to the rafters

Day rate is listed as a 10 hour day to allow time for setup and take down.

No events or parties allowed.
No pets due to severe allergies.

Please note that the studio is not good for recording audio. We are in an industrial area with trucks going back and forth all day in front of the studio. The walls inside are very thin too so we often hear our neighbours.
