Organization & Cleanup
You are responsible for following the rental contract rules and authorize the studio to charge your card $75 if the door is left unlocked when you depart, if you exceed your rental time, go over the occupancy limit or leave the studio in poor condition.
For clean-up, please make sure the studio looks like it did when you arrived and take out what you bring in — including any hangers, boxes, props, coffee, florals, trash etc…
All provided equipment and furniture must remain in the studio. If any items are missing or damaged during your rental, you will be billed separately for repairs or replacements. We kindly ask that you treat the space with the same care as if it were your own.
The Cyc wall is designed to support weight on the flat surface only—please avoid standing, leaning, or placing any pressure on the curves or walls, as they may crack. When moving items, be sure to lift them rather than drag them to protect the floor.
Additionally, smoking is strictly prohibited in the studio. If we detect any signs of smoking (including smell or residue), a $500 fine will be issued.

Bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis. If a time slot is unavailable on the calendar, it means another booking has already been made for that period. Bookings within 24 hours cannot be made online. Please contact us directly to schedule.
-
The studio allows up to 15-20 people at one time, including your crew and clients.
If you're hosting sessions throughout the day, you're welcome to have different people come and go—as long as no more than 20 are in the space at once.
-
Yes. The contract is built into the booking process, and you'll be required to agree to the terms and conditions when securing your rental.
Once booked, you’ll receive an automatic confirmation email outlining next steps, including insurance requirements.
A Certificate of Insurance (COI) must be submitted no later than 72 hours before your rental date. Please note: listing us as Certificate Holder only does not provide coverage and will not be accepted.

The Amy Rose Studio is a versatile creative space available for professional photography, video production, podcasts, interviews, UGC and social media content creation, workshops, classes, gallery exhibitions, and intimate networking events for creatives.
Whether you're producing content for your brand, filming a podcast, or hosting a creative gathering, our Worcester studio offers a flexible environment to bring your vision to life.
Please note that the studio is reserved for professional and creative use and is not available for private celebrations, including birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, or similar personal events.
-
Our studio has a four-hour minimum rental period to ensure you have enough time for a productive, stress-free session.
It's easy to underestimate how much time a shoot requires beyond the actual photography or filming. Unloading, setting up equipment and props, testing lighting, breaking down, cleaning up, and loading out all count toward your rental time.
Our tip: Make the most of your booking by planning multiple shoots, creating content in batches, or splitting the studio time with another creative. If you're working with clients, you can also build the studio rental cost into your project pricing.
We want you to have the time and flexibility to create without feeling rushed!

-
For your convenience, there is a loading ramp on the left side of the building if you need to wheel in gear or props. We also have an equipment/prop cart available in the studio for your use. You can temporarily park near the loading area while unloading, then move your car to the right side of the building. Parking is free, and if all spots are taken, there’s an additional lot on the right that is also free and available for parking.
-
No, since the studio is self-accessed, there won’t be anyone on-site during your rental. However, you can contact us if any issues arise, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
-
The studio is equipped with blackout curtains to help block out natural light. However, please note that while they significantly reduce light, the space will not be completely dark.
-
Our studio is a versatile space for video production, podcasts, interviews, and content creation. We've recently added a wood slat acoustic wall that helps reduce reflections and doubles as a stylish backdrop for on-camera content.
Please keep in mind that the studio is located in a historic industrial building with high ceilings. While the acoustic panels help improve sound quality, the space is not soundproof or a dedicated soundstage, and occasional background noise may occur.
We've successfully filmed a variety of projects here, as have other videographers and creators. For productions requiring more controlled audio, we recommend bringing sound blankets, directional microphones, or additional sound treatment. Audio cleanup in post-production can also help when needed.
Have specific audio, lighting, or video equipment needs? Reach out before booking! We're happy to discuss your production requirements and help you determine whether the space is a good fit.
-
No, the rental only includes the space and its amenities. Professional photography or videography services are not included.
-
Yes! Every studio rental includes a complimentary base equipment package to help you get started. This includes a Foba stand, V-flats, C-stands, sandbags, apple boxes, rolling garment rack, steamer, and two FotodioX Pro Warrior Deluxe 5600K continuous lights with softboxes.
We also have a selection of furniture and styling props, including chairs, tables, dishes, and other accessories available to rent for an additional fee. Availability and pricing vary, so please inquire about specific items before booking.
Creating video, podcasts, or social media content? We're exploring additional equipment rental options, including audio, video, and lighting gear.
Have something specific in mind? Ask us about your equipment needs! We'd love to hear what you're creating and discuss available options and any associated rental fees.
If any items go missing or damages are incurred during your rental time you will be billed separately to have it fixed and/or replaced. Please treat the space like you own it.

The entrance to the building is located at 100 Barber Ave., Worcester, MA 01606. When using GPS, please enter “John W. Higgins Armory” to avoid confusion, as there are two buildings on site. We are located in the glass and metal building at the top of the hill.
Once inside the front door, you may take the elevator or use the doorway to the right of the elevator. Follow the signs, go down two flights of stairs, and bear right through the double doors. The studio entrance is at the end of that hallway.
A cart is available inside the studio to help you unload any props or equipment from your vehicle.
If you're expecting clients during your rental, please note that you are responsible for letting them into the building. A lockbox with a key will be located outside the building for your use on the day of your rental.
A restroom is conveniently located just down the hall from the studio, next to the elevator.
-
Yes, but since this is an old industrial building, the studio is not the most efficient. You can open the windows and turn on the ceiling fans. The heat is uncontrolled and there is an AC unit in the studio to turn on should it get too hot. The instructions on how to use are attached to the left side of the unit.
-
Please note that the studio is not childproof—children and pets must be supervised at all times. This is a professional space with valuable equipment and furniture. Any damages incurred during your rental will result in a separate charge for repairs or replacements. If you plan to bring pets, they must be approved in advance of your booking.

We've got you covered! The studio is equipped with a Sony X-Series XP500 Bluetooth speaker, so you can easily connect your phone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled device and play your favorite music during your session.
Simply pair your device with the speaker, cue up your playlist, and enjoy! The speaker is included with your studio rental at no additional charge.
