StudioShare.org™’s creation was driven by the need to reinvent professional collaboration among photographers.

It all started with two basic observations: on the one hand, studio space not entirely utilized by their owners,

and on the other, photographers looking for affordable studio space.

The founders, both long-time photographers and studio owners, realized their studios were idle most of time, with

skyrocketing rent and utility costs. They learned they weren’t alone: other studio owners shared the same challenges.

In talking to hundreds of photographers nationwide, it soon became clear that most photographers were interested in

doing more studio photography, yet didn’t want to invest in their own studio.

But it wasn’t limited to studio space alone. Photographers had difficulties locating props or finding the right

equipment and qualified professional support for photo shoots. Often equipment purchase or rental was too

costly. In addition, specialized photo professionals such as makeup artists, stylists, set builders, and others,

were increasingly looking to network in the photographic community to find photo shoots.

The time was right to unite studio owners, photographers and photographic specialists in a unique and

unparalleled collaboration platform allowing its members to connect, collaborate and share each other’s

resources online. Ultimately, StudioShare.org™ was born.
