openbcn studios
Here we answer the most common questions about renting openbcn studios: what’s included, how our natural light works, cancellation policies, accessibility, and everything you need to know before booking.
Our space is designed to support whatever you need to create:
9-meter cyclorama, controllable natural light, and 250m² of space. Perfect for lookbooks, campaigns, and collection shoots. We’ve worked with ICON El País, international brands, and production teams from across Europe.
Even natural light throughout the day, ceilings up to 6 meters high. Ideal for talking heads, presentations, and polished video content.
From small-format items to larger pieces. Full light and space control so you can set up exactly what your shoot requires.
250m² right in the center of Barcelona. Product launches, showrooms, workshops. If you promise it to your client, you can deliver it here.
20m² of southeast-facing skylights provide steady, natural light all day, with motorized blackout control. Our cyclorama is nearly 9 meters wide (most studios in Barcelona are between 4–6m). We’re located in the city center, on a semi-pedestrian street with direct loading at the door — 5 minutes from Passeig de Gràcia.
We’re the first and only boutique studio in Barcelona with real, integrated production support.
We’ve developed MAÎTRISE, a 3-phase method:
You shoot with full control, backed by a technical team that’s there when needed.
No hidden charges — electricity, basic gear, and cleaning are all included.
While others rent you space, we offer a full production experience.
You don’t rent a studio. You own your production.
We usually work with half-day or full-day rates. For smaller projects, feel free to call or WhatsApp us directly at: +34 931 92 30 38.
We don’t charge based on team size. You pay for the space and time.

Yes — and we highly recommend it.
Book a visit and come see the space in person. We’ll show you everything calmly: how the light shifts during the day, how the skylights are controlled, and how the space flows with your production in mind.
This isn’t a sales tour — it’s a conversation about your project, to see if openbcn studios truly fits your needs.
We usually arrange visits within 24–48h. In a rush? Let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
We have a virtual 360º tour and detailed videos available on the website — but the real experience is hard to beat.
We prefer you to book only when you’re 100% sure — that way, everything works better for everyone.
Everything you need so you can focus on creating.
If you need lighting (flash or continuous), modifiers, cameras, or sound equipment — we’ll handle it for you. All in one booking, no third-party coordination needed.
This is part of MAÎTRISE — designed for creators who value precision. True control isn’t loud. You just feel it.
Natural light here isn’t an architectural accident — it’s intentional by design.
The cyclorama faces southeast for a reason. 10 skylights across the studio provide 20m² of glass surface and deliver consistent, even lighting from 9:00 am to sunset.
Each skylight has its own motorized blackout curtain. It’s not all or nothing — you can control exactly which zones get light. Block out the back, keep the cyclorama lit — or the other way around.
You don’t have to imagine the light — you master it here.
It depends on how you want to work. We offer real options — not limitations.
Many photographers come with just their camera. The 10 skylights with independent blackout give you everything you need for fashion, portrait, or product shoots.
The studio is designed for shooting with nothing but your camera and your eye.
You can rent Essentials, our collection of gear: lighting (flash and continuous), modifiers, cameras, and sound equipment.
If you need something specific, we coordinate it directly with our trusted partners. No phone calls. No deliveries. No stress.
Whatever your light needs — you choose. We adapt.
Over 250 m² of usable space, designed so you can produce comfortably — no matter the size of your team.
Dressing room, waiting area, and catering zone all separated from the set.
Direct access from a semi-pedestrian street, with loading at the door.
Need to bring a truck? There’s access.
This space is built for production, not improvisation.
Carrer del Perill, 38 – 08012 Barcelona
Between Gràcia and Eixample — right in the heart of the city.
Less than 350m away. Loading and unloading directly at the door.
Just 5 minutes from Passeig de Gràcia. Surrounded by restaurants, hotels, and everything your team might need.
When the unexpected happens, you’re exactly where you need to be — in the center.
We operate on a limited calendar — each confirmed booking blocks a date we can’t offer to another client.
That’s why we ask for advance planning and commitment for every production.
All cancellations must be sent via email to hola@openbcnstudios.com to ensure clear written communication.
These conditions help us prepare each production with the level of care and precision you expect from us — and why clients choose us in the first place.
It happens more often than you’d think.
When an idea grows, the clock stops mattering.
You can extend easily — just let us know as soon as possible and we’ll take care of it on the spot.
Same hourly rate applies, day or night.
We’ll help you find a solution so your day flows to the last frame.
Some shoots finish at 3AM and the next team comes in at 8.
It’s not about the hour — it’s about making sure it works.
That’s what producing at openbcn studios means.
Yes — not as an afterthought, but by design.
Semi-pedestrian street with direct, step-free entry from the sidewalk.
When the space flows, so does the production. Tell us what you need to make the day fully yours.
We want openbcn to feel easy for everyone.
If you’re bringing your dog or cat, just let us know. We’ll have a bowl of fresh water waiting.
Yes. The studio is insured.
Damages to the space or accidents inside the facilities that are directly the studio’s responsibility.
Your own gear, client equipment or personal belongings.
Production crew accidents or injuries (that’s typically covered under your own production insurance).
If you’re bringing valuable gear or client materials, make sure you’re covered through your own professional policy — or request temporary insurance just for the session.
If you have doubts about coverage, we’re here to help.
Yes.
And we’re one of the few studios in Barcelona with a fully equipped kitchen.
If you work in food photography, styling or content creation, you can actually cook on site — prep, plate and shoot all in one flow. No cold dishes, no off-site setups.
You can warm up catering, prepare breakfasts or snacks for the crew, or cook right on set during long shoots.
Because producing well also means eating well.
The studio is very quiet. It’s not a soundproof set, but the thick walls and industrial roof offer a stable, echo-free acoustic environment.
We’ve hosted multiple interviews and multi-day shoots — including executives from financial institutions — with zero issues.
One even left a 5-star Google review.
You might hear a soft patter of rain on the skylights.
It rarely interferes, but if you’re doing sensitive audio (like voiceover or music), we can coordinate a backup day or set up a temporary acoustic solution.

Just like the light, the sound here is also under control.
