Our Story
Stellaris Studios was founded in 2010 by visionary photographer, Anya Petrova. Driven by a passion for visual arts and recognizing the lack of flexible, professional studio spaces in the city, Anya embarked on a mission to create a haven for creatives. Starting with a single, modestly equipped studio in the heart of downtown, Stellaris Studios quickly garnered a reputation for its exceptional service, state-of-the-art equipment, and commitment to fostering a supportive community.
In the early years, Anya focused on building strong relationships with local photographers, filmmakers, and artists. She listened to their needs, adapting the studio’s offerings to meet the evolving demands of the creative landscape. This dedication to client satisfaction played a pivotal role in Stellaris Studios' early success.
As the business grew, Stellaris Studios expanded its facilities, adding specialized spaces like the 'Celestial Room' (a daylight studio with panoramic views) and the 'Void Chamber' (a fully soundproofed studio ideal for audio recording and film production). Each studio was meticulously designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, providing a blank canvas for artists to bring their visions to life.
Over the past decade, Stellaris Studios has played host to countless photoshoots, film productions, and artistic projects. From high-fashion editorials to independent films, our studios have been the backdrop for some of the city’s most memorable creative works. We are proud to have supported the careers of emerging artists and provided a platform for established professionals to push their boundaries.
Today, Stellaris Studios stands as the premier photo and video studio rental in the city. Our commitment to innovation, quality, and customer service remains unwavering. We are constantly investing in new equipment, expanding our studio spaces, and developing new services to meet the ever-changing needs of the creative community. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to our founding mission: to empower artists and inspire creativity.
