NYFA Los Angeles Opens Expansive New Photography Studio

May 30, 2024

This May, NYFA Los Angeles opened a new photography studio for students, located about ten minutes from the main campus. The studio promises to support students in our Los Angeles-based Photography MFABFA, 2 and 1-Year Conservatory programs, offering ample space to shoot projects. For faculty members like Naomi White, the Chair of Photography at NYFA Los Angeles, the studio is a game-changer.

“Our new photography studio offers an endless world of possibility and inspiration,” says Naomi. “An expansive white cyc fills the main space, with 22-foot high ceilings, offering a playground for a myriad of visual explorations. Students work with textures, colorful seamless, gels, Pro Photo and Godox lighting gear, cookies, modifiers, and a room full of props and fabrics with which to enrich their sets.”

“There is also a front studio with a roll-up door offering daylight options for still life and portraiture, two make-up rooms, an equipment and prop room, and a classroom, all fostering collaboration and growth.”

To celebrate the opening, NYFA Los Angeles hosted a red ribbon-cutting mixer for faculty and students.

“NYFA Photography Students have endless opportunities to bring their ideas into being and we can’t wait to show off the amazing work they are creating.”
