Studio Rental

Elevate Your Vision With Professional Studio Rentals in Urbana, MD

Finding the right environment to execute a creative project, host a high-stakes meeting, or lead an educational workshop can be the difference between a "good" result and a "professional" masterpiece. At Angell Photography, we realized early on that a studio is more than just four walls and some lights—it is an ecosystem designed to minimize distractions and maximize output. While our studio serves as the primary home for our own commercial and portrait work, we are proud to open our doors to the Frederick and Urbana creative communities.

Our studio rental program is designed for the modern professional who requires a "plug-and-play" environment. Whether you are a photographer tired of battling the unpredictable Maryland weather, a small business owner needing a quiet, impressive space to host a strategy session, or an educator looking for a classroom that commands respect, our Urbana facility offers a sanctuary of productivity. Located strategically just off I-270, we provide a sophisticated, private, and fully-equipped alternative to noisy coffee shops or cramped home offices.

A Space Defined by Versatility and Privacy

When you rent the Angell Photography studio, you aren't just renting a corner of a room; you are securing an exclusive, private experience. We operate on an appointment-only basis to ensure that when you are here, the space is yours. This exclusivity is vital for sensitive client meetings, high-focus production sets, or intimate workshops where distractions simply aren't an option.

The studio is divided into functional zones that work in harmony. From the expansive shooting floor to the polished client meeting area and the dedicated classroom space, the layout is intuitive. We have curated every square inch to ensure that the "prestige factor" is felt from the moment your guests or clients walk through the door.

Option 1: The Workspace & Creative Hub (Non-Production Use)

 Best for: Classes, Workshops, Seminars, Corporate Meetings, and Coworking

In an era of remote work, the need for a physical "home base" has never been greater. However, the overhead of a full-time office is often impractical. Our Workspace & Creative Hub rental tier is designed for those who need a professional "front" for their business or a structured environment for group interaction.



For Educators and Workshop Leaders: If you are an expert in your field—be it marketing, yoga, finance, or craft—hosting a session in a professional studio elevates your brand. Our classroom area is equipped with comfortable seating and presentation-ready tools. The atmosphere is designed to foster learning and engagement, allowing you to focus on your curriculum while we provide the professional backdrop.

For Small Business Owners and Teams: Tired of trying to host "brainstorming sessions" over the hum of a commercial espresso machine? Our hub offers a quiet, neutral ground for strategy meetings, team-building exercises, or client presentations. With high-speed internet and large screens available for image or slide deck viewing, your professional credibility is reinforced by the environment you choose to work in.

The Coworking Edge: Sometimes, you just need a day away from the home office to reset your focus. The Creative Hub serves as a refined coworking space where the minimalist aesthetic and professional "vibe" help eliminate the procrastination that often comes with working in a living room. It’s a space where "work" actually happens.

Option 2: The Full-Service Production Studio

Best for: Photographers, Videographers, and Content Creators

For the visual creator, control is everything. The Full-Service Production Studio rental is a comprehensive solution for those who need to master their lighting, background, and environment without the massive capital investment of owning a private facility.

The Controlled Environment: Outdoor shoots in Maryland are a gamble. Between the humidity of July, the winds of March, and the ever-changing light, "perfection" is hard to come by. Our shooting space removes the variables. With a spacious floor plan and high ceilings, you have the room to move, the height to light, and the privacy to create.

Professional Grip and Lighting: One of the primary benefits of renting our production space is access to our professional-grade equipment. We maintain a fleet of high-end strobes, continuous lighting for video, and an array of modifiers (softboxes, beauty dishes, umbrellas, and grids).

• Grip Equipment: We provide the "heavy lifting"—C-stands, sandbags, booms, and clamps—so you don't have to haul your entire gear closet across the county.
• The Backdrop Library: Our studio features a diverse selection of seamless paper rolls (Classic Grey, Pure White, Deep Black, and seasonal colors) as well as textured canvases for high-end portraiture.

Content Creation for the Social Age: If you are an influencer or a brand manager, you know that "content is king," but quality is the king’s crown. Our studio is optimized for creating "reels," "TikToks," and "YouTube" content with clean acoustics and versatile backgrounds. The pure white sweep is perfect for clean product demonstrations, while our lifestyle corners allow for more relatable, "at-home" style branding shots in a controlled setting.

Essential Amenities: The "Little Things" That Matter

A studio rental is only as good as the support it provides. We have thought through the logistics of a long shoot or a full-day workshop to ensure you and your guests remain comfortable.

• The Vanity & Changing Suite: No more changing in a cramped bathroom. We provide a dedicated, well-lit vanity space for hair and makeup touch-ups and a private changing area. This is essential for fashion shoots, high-end headshots, or branding sessions involving multiple "looks."
• The Meeting Area & Image Review: Our client lounge features large-format screens. If you are a photographer, you can tether your camera directly to these screens, allowing your client to see the results in real-time. This "wow factor" builds immense trust and ensures you get the "buy-in" on the shot before the session ends.
• Refreshment Station: We provide access to water and coffee to keep your energy levels up during those deep-dive creative sessions.
• Logistics & Accessibility: Located in Urbana, we offer plenty of parking and easy load-in access. Being just off I-270 makes us a central meeting point for clients coming from Frederick, Montgomery County, or even DC and Northern Virginia.

Booking, Policies, and The Professional Code

To maintain the high standards of our space and ensure a seamless experience for every renter, we adhere to a few straightforward policies:

The Booking Process: All rentals must be booked in advance via our online portal or by direct consultation. We recommend booking at least two weeks out for weekend slots, though we do our best to accommodate last-minute "creative emergencies" when the schedule allows.

The $50 Commitment: We understand that life happens. However, as an appointment-only studio, a cancellation represents a significant lost opportunity for another creator. A $50 non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your date. This fee is applied to your total rental cost but protects the studio against no-shows and last-minute changes.

Studio Etiquette: We take pride in the cleanliness and organization of our space. We ask that all renters leave the studio in the condition they found it. We provide a "strike list" to help you ensure all lights are powered down and gear is returned to its proper home. If you are using seamless paper, a small per-foot fee applies for any "floor-run" portions that are soiled or damaged during the shoot.

Why Rent From Angell Photography?

There are other spaces you could rent, but few offer the combination of technical sophistication and a "creator-first" philosophy. Because this is an active, working professional studio, the gear is maintained to the highest standards, and the layout is optimized for a real-world workflow.

We don't just hand you a key; we provide a space that inspires you to do your best work. When you bring a client here, you aren't just a "photographer with a camera"—you are a professional with a studio. That shift in perception is often the catalyst for higher-value bookings and long-term business growth.
