Designed by a commercial photographer, Maine Studio Works is Portland, Maine’s premier production space.
With 8,000 square feet of open space, 17’ ceilings, North-facing windows, a photo-ready brand new kitchen, on-site set construction, and a growing prop and furniture library, MSW is a photographer and videographer’s dream.
The space is divided into two private studio spaces to fit your production needs. Both studios have access to the prop room, grip gear, and a loading dock for easy load-in. We also offer on site set and prop building for your productions.
We rent the studios separately, and are happy to combine both studios as a package if needed.
Studio A is nearly 1,200 sqft, with a private entrance, restroom, and kitchenette.
Studio B is nearly 6,000 sqft with a private entrance, two restrooms, a full kitchen designed with flexibility in mind, and an abundance of north-facing natural light.
When you shoot at Maine Studio Works’ turnkey studios, your package can include:
Grip equipment (clamps, apple boxes, c-stands, etc.)
Prop house with a variety of wood and stone surfaces/backgrounds
Dishware and silverware props, as well as other food propping/styling pieces
Onsite woodshop for custom set and prop construction
Profoto lighting equipment (packs and heads)
Full array of soft boxes, beauty dishes, octo banks, and other light modifiers

PLEASE NOTE: It may be difficult to isolate sound for interviews and audio recordings in this formerly industrial building. Tall ceilings and large windows make for great backdrops, but also let in some street noise.
