Indoor photoshoot locations around Vancouver are great because you don’t have to worry about the weather, outside temperature, and you have more control over the ambient lighting. Indoor spaces also usually offer much more privacy than public spaces.
All of these spaces require a rental fee usually ranging between $100 to $1000. Many of our clients find it is worth the investment because of the benefits of having more control over your photoshoot.
