Photo Studio
Believe it or not, the very first studios came to be for some of the same reasons that photo studios are popular today. The most fundamental reason being that an indoor studio is a dry place to shelter the photographers and models from the cold. Of course, the real reason was also for the luxury of a photo studio that was furnished with designer furniture and masterpiece works of art. It was a place where the fashion elite can do business and socialize. Another more functional reason for the start of photo studios was the ability to control lighting. Back in the 1800’s, there was very little technology for optimizing photography lighting, so building studios in relation to the lighting of the sun was a crucial and painstaking remedy.
With the growing popularity of commercial advertisements, photography began to prosper and photo studios sprouted in New York, London, and other fashion capitals. In the 1900’s when illustrated magazines and books became ubiquitous, photo studios grew even more in popularity. This century also saw the usage of artificial lighting.
In the mid 1900’s the budget for advertising and photo studio work grew from pocket change to big bucks. The entertainment industry was at the forefront of this economic boom, and photo studios were behind all the production.
The photo studio industry remains a very interesting one. No other industry may see the kind of demand and pressure put onto the availability and amenability of a photo studio. This actually comes as no surprise if clients want to photo shoot cars, lions, shoes, and everything else in between.
