Welcome to Studio 55 Columbus, a professional photo studio for rent in Columbus, Ohio. By booking a rental at our studio, you agree to the following Terms of Service. Please review them carefully to ensure a smooth and professional experience for you and your guests.

Studio Rules

  • Full rental fee is due at the time of booking.

  • Any additional time not billed during the initial booking will be due at the end of the rental period.

  • Rental time begins promptly at the scheduled start and ends promptly at the scheduled finish, regardless of whether the renter or their party arrives late.

  • Rental time includes load-in, setup, tear down, and cleaning. Please factor this into your booking.

  • A $25 late fee will be charged if the studio is not vacated by the scheduled end time.

  • A $50 minimum cleaning fee applies for excessively dirty studios or groups/production crews larger than 10 people. Additional charges may apply.

  • An additional $20 per hour fee applies for rentals scheduled past 8:00 PM or shoots that exceed beyond that time.

Studio Guidelines

To maintain a professional, creative environment at Studio 55 Columbus, all renters must follow these guidelines:

  • No smoking inside the studio. Projects involving smoke require prior approval.

  • Music must be kept at reasonable levels to respect other tenants in the building.

  • Materials that are messy or difficult to clean (hair cutting, feathers, food products, body paint, etc.) require prior approval before booking.

  • Renters are responsible for installing, tearing down, and rewrapping seamless paper.
