Spacious Vintage Styled Production Loft

Insurance & Liability
Anyone renting at Vintage Light Studios must have their own shoot insurance. Vintage Light Studios will not be held accountable for any accidents that happen in the studio. Any insurance-related issues are the responsibility of the renter. By renting, you waive Vintage Light Studios from any liability from your rental.

Rental Time
When you rent the studio for a given time, that includes your setup, shooting time and tear down. You will be able to gain access to the studio no more than 10 minutes before your agreed upon start time if availalbe. If you go more than 15 minutes past your end time you will be billed for an additional hour. The door lock will tell us when you exited the studio so it is critical you lock it or you will be billed for an additional 2 hours.

Rental Studio Automation
Vintage Light Studios uses an automated access system. We are very rarely present when you come in for your rental. In the event that you can not gain access to the studio we will extend your rental time or credit you for the lost time. Vintage Light Studios will not compensate you for any contractor costs or be held financially liable for any other costs. Photographers/videographers should have their own shoot insurance for those situations.

Cleanup
You are required to clean up after your rental. The studio should be as clean as when it was provided to you. Garbage bags are located under the counter. Take any garbage/recycling out to the dumpster in the back parking lot. If the studio is not left clean you will be charged a $200 cleaning fee

Photography Equipment
Basic lighting equipment such as light stands and v-flats are included in your rental. If you wish to rent my studio strobes and light shaping tools there are 4 heads that you can rent for $175/day and an array of modifiers. THIS MUST BE ARRANGED A MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS PRIOR TO YOUR RENTAL.
Seamless paper backdrops ARE NOT included in your rental. To use a seamless paper backdrop there is a charge of $50 per backdrop. If you use backdrops without paying for them you will be charged $100.
Any damage to the equipment will be billed to you at a price for replacement or repair.
If you are unsure how to use studio lighting equipment a studio tech can be supplied for $100/hour.

Smoking
SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED. Under no circumstances can anyone smoke in the studio or in the building. This includes vaporizers. All smoking MUST be done outside the building. If you smoke in the space or inside the building you will lose your entire $1000 security deposit.

Washrooms
There are 2 washrooms are located on the 3rd floor across from the elevators. Keys for the washroom will be hanging by the entry door to the studio.

Noise Levels
There are other people that work in my building and the walls & floors are not particularly soundproofed so I EXPECT you to keep the volume down at any time of day. It's fine to have some ambient tunes going but if you have to talk loudly over your music it is too loud. Also if your music has a lot of bass, turn down the subwoofer (little knob next to the volume) so it does not disturb my neighbours. If I get noise complaints, you will have to pay a $400 surcharge.
