A few years ago Erin came across an ad on the ever so hit or miss craigslist. An artist was subletting a studio over the summer for cheap. She had just finished photo school and booked a few shoots. It seemed like it could work. We decided that if we could make back the cost in the studio it would be worth it.
Erin doubled the rent in 1 shoot.
It was a closet. Well bigger. But it was small. It was also less than a 5 minutes walk from our apartment. It was just a few months. But it was great. We had a place to leave things setup so a shoot didn’t always include setup and break down. Erin put her name on the waiting list.
About 3 years later she got the call. The studios have opened a new floor so space had opened up. We looked at a few of the studios and really liked ours. So, we’re back in Somerville at Vernon Street Studios. What’s nice about working an industrial space is that we get to do pretty much anything. It’s also rough because we took over a space after years of painters it would seem. Hardened piles of paint, dust, grime, dust, plaster dust and more. After a bunch of coats paint, a few trips to furniture shops, some pulleys, paper stuffed mini-car and more than one near ladder death experiences, we finished hanging the lights as we opened the doors (and after an all nighter… I thought those ended in college).
Check out the photo gallery of us making the most of our space. We’d like to give a special thanks to my parents and Noah Bidgood for helping out building the place.
